by Nuking wind, inconsistent waves, yes, that's what I said. The thermals
are well set up for days of nuclear winds (sometimes too much), but the
point can be flat as a lake. If you want lake sailing, why did you go
to San Carlos? Personally, I find the place quite boring in flat
conditions. I'd rather be home sailing a lake than in the middle of
nowhere for days sailing one.
In general, the west coast doesn't have great waves mid-summer because
the storms in the Gulf of Alaska die out. This is especially true in
July. The action at that time of year is the south swell which comes in
periodically, but you have to time it right tracking the swell before
you leave. PSC can be EPIC when a south swell hits.
If you want wind and flat water, PSC is great in July. If you get lucky,
you might get some waves! Plan ahead. Better yet, go spring or fall
when there's more likely to be swell. Otoh, we've had a late spring,
perhaps it will be good in July this year.
That's my "insight," take it for what it's worth.

good again!)
