Anyone thinking WSM may be OK later today? Inshore waters shows a decent wind strength, but I don't know where all that wind is at the moment - not round here anyway

I'm not a WSM expert (have only been a handful of times!) - Justin and Matt are though
My understanding is that there is more chance of the wind really blowing in and getting the Weston local effect when it's a W wind with sun. As it is a S/ SWdirection there is possibly less chance of it happening, but windsurfers are always optimistic and you never know there could just be a gale around the corner for this afternoon that the forecasters don't know about!
I think Axbridge will be pants today, Keith, unless you want to do light wind twiddly / twirly things. Sailing at Weston would be Ok from about 4 - 4.30, so I'll leave it a bit before deciding.
Actually, it's SE at moment at weston, yet forecasted for SW. Who knows what is happening !!
But if the wind does get up, then I'm up for WSM again.
