Gorge Wind Forecast
Not much is happening for wind for the next few days, but the swap meet will make up for that! It’s happening today (Sunday) at Lot 1 on the Hood River waterfront. Don’t despair about the lack of wind; plenty is coming starting next Wednesday. It would take a dramatic change in the forecast for the wind to fail!
Let’s look at Sunday. Ah, what a nice day for a swim. Easterlies at 10-13 this morning from Rooster to Stevenson or Viento shut down midday. Expect calm, glassy conditions all through the Gorge through late afternoon. Around 5pm, the wind picks up to W 11-14 from Stevenson to Doug’s, first at Stevenson, and then slowly filling in to the east. River flow is 229kcfs. River temp is 57F. High temp forecast today: 86F for Hood River.
Monday starts with light west flow and turns calm by late morning. Break out the ski boat and the flat-water SUP gear. Afternoon westerlies pick up to 12-15 or so from Stevenson to Doug’s. High temp: 86.
Tuesday looks like the most excellent swimming day in years. The wind will be calm early, E 10-15 midday at Rooster anad Stevenson, and calm in the afternoon. It’ll be muggy (dewpoint 55). it’ll be hot (94F). You’ll be drawn to the nearest cool body of water.
Cooler air pushes in on the west side sometime Wednesday. That kicks the wind up into the mid 20’s, at least. Thursday’s looking like 28-32, and Friday looks like 26-30. Of course, that’s a long ways out and subject to change. But the cooldown is almost certain, and that means westerlies. Have a great day!
