Wow, just wow. WTF is going on? I definitely won't be making any plans to go down anytime soon.

View attachment 560628 Port closed this morning. The winds are from the east....next the new harbourmaster will close it on cloudy days...

Just looked at windguru and I am shaking my head. I saw a few pictures people on Facebook posted and it looks beautiful, other than cloudy.

Port closed this morning. The winds are from the east....next the new harbourmaster will close it on cloudy days..

What is going on? The airport is report ESE winds @ 14mph. Windguru isn't forecasting any north winds the next 10 days. I don't see any reason

Edit: I asked my Op, and this was his reply: "Yes, but there is a BRUTAL surge today. Happy to stay in harbor today. Those waves are boat sinkers."

Might be rough conditions at the north Marina but south is fine. Flat out front of San Francisco reef this morning at 10 am. Conditions are same in afternoon.

I am going to get ahold of the new port captain's personal e-mail as well as an address and I encourage EVERYONE who cares to write letters (in English is fine) about how your vacation was ruined on perfectly flat days.

She is doing crazy crap like opening it when it shouldn't be and closing it when it should be open because she is clearly CLUELESS about how the winds work on the island vs the mainland. She is going to single handedly destroy the water sports industry on the island.

The diving community on the island should invite her to a sit down info session....educate instead of bitching.

We are literally trying - we keep getting the runaround!

I'm not there so never know how much stock to put in the internet reports. The airport is reporting light rain and SE wind @ 11mph, but if the local forecast was for worst - maybe I could understand.

I should have used the sarcastic font in my post.
