I hope this answers your question. I shot by Coyote about 4:30 pm yesterday,
and even though it was cappin', it didn't look that great. So, I went to
Oyster. Some of the Candlestick crew was there and said that they had been
waitin' around since 3:00, but nothing ever happened there. Oyster was just
filling in (5:00 pm). Tigers was really filled in, but rather puffy (cause
the wind kept moving to the west southwest and back) and westerly. Main
problem, as it always is at Oyster, was dealin' with the "doughnut" hole (the
big wind shadow at the opposite end of the lagoon, downwind from the bakery).
 Once you got through the hole, it was solid 5.0 the rest of the evening at
Tigers. Was up and down in the lagoon, but the shred/slog ratio was
definitely acceptable. I was powered and planing 95% of the time.

Btw - shameless commercial plug -> check out "La Perla" on Grand in SoSF.
 Tasty, cheap Mexican food, and a wide variety of cervezas. Great way to end
a fun session. Nice folks, too.
