When the fog is sitting on the hills west & south of Coyote/3d as it is today
and the wind direction has clocked around hard to the west....the dumbarton is
typically blowing reasonably hard, with wind from the WNW.

I went home across the Dumbarton yesterday afternoon after the wind had clocked
around to the West and it was blowing strong there. Plus, the tide is up these
days in the afternoon. High tide will be btwn 500-600p, and the midday low was
+4ft.

Today I note that Palo Alto is showing 14kts in Ken's 200p report and I just
verified that with a call to the PA airport ATIS line (415-858-0606). It's
typically blowing reasonably stronger at the bridge (the wind has a clean fetch
all the way from the hills & SM bridge).

So I'm gonna head out there in a bit (330pm-ish) and see what gives. Anyone
else?

Jeff
