Speaking mostly for 3rd, but also applies at Coyote, I find that WSW is
sailable, but there will be more of a wind shadow on the inside. The
stronger the wind is from this direction, the less of a problem the
shadow is. Today was probably no problem, but I didn't make it out, so
can't say for sure.
