Report of a tandem flight early in the afternoon on Monday. He said conditions were awesome. The passenger with no thermalling experience still got to 4k. A PG went up for a late afternoon flight but drove down because launch winds were too strong. TODAY…...looks a bit more down. NW above the top. The Blipspot says NW but the rasp is SW on launch for most of the afternoon. The NW is right nearby though. The sky is clear up high but increasing onshore is making the air lower down more hazy. I think there will be launchable conditions. Winds aloft are SW between 4 and 6kts by 2pm. Max altitude 4,600ft.
