Official forecast says "Partly cloudy. Highs in the lower 70s. North winds 10 to 20 mph. "

Looks like they will be north to north-east. Maybe us buggiers can find a good path through the dunes like we had for our last races. For those that want to get in the water, the back side of the pass should offer some great riding. Landboarders might be the only ones left out of a good place to ride... but that would give them a good reason to try a buggy :singing:

Buggying was great. Got some good runs in and the beach wasn't very busy. Considering the wind direction, it wasn't as gusty as I was expecting. There was about a half dozen of us. Sand was packed, but pretty rough. You really couldn't go much faster than 30 before you got shaken to bits.
