Santa Windsurfs the Penobscot, Kiteboarders Assualt Maverick's There's no surf coming for a while. Time to grab the wind. Tomorrow's forecast is a good one for wind boarders. NOAA forecast for Nantucket Sound: WED - SW WINDS 5 TO 10 KT...INCREASING TO 10 TO 15 KT WITH GUSTS UP TO 25 KT IN THE LATE MORNING AND AFTERNOON. SEAS AROUND 2 FT... BUILDING TO 3 TO 4 FT IN THE AFTERNOON. Add to that air temp of 55F and sunshine. Christmas season starts earlier and earlier these days. Normally we have retailers to blame. But who can complain when Santa himself makes an appearance on a windsurfer. "If I put it off much longer, I’ll be on ice" says Charlie Sargent, the man in the Santa suit. Sargent has been windsurfing the Penobscot River as Santa since 1983.  Meanwhile on the left coast kiteboarders have joined the lineup at Maverick's. Is this a good thing or a bad thing?  I'm not a fan of kiteboards in the lineup. They aren't subject to the rhythm of the incoming swell and mess up the flow and vibe. But if jet skis are already whining around there's not much left to lose.

If we're lucky the power will stay on and we'll get to watch throughout the day. The camera lens is pressed hard against the window so the shot stays pretty clean between the raindrops. Noel's effect on the beaches with regard to erosion and sandbars will be interesting. Some time in the next few years there's likely to be a breach of Nauset Beach at Pochet. This storm isn't sticking around long enough to do that kind of damage. I'll go out on a short limb here and predict that tomorrow afternoon the surf will be head high and clean and that Monday morning could offer chest high glass. I'm planning to get to the office late. The question is where to go. Some scouting tomorrow around noon is in order. THIS AFTERNOON NE WINDS 35 TO 40 KT WITH GUSTS UP TO 55 KT... INCREASING TO 40 TO 50 KT WITH GUSTS UP TO 65 KT LATE.
