2:10 PM on Tuesday, June 25, 2019
Caseville Rocks
A trip to the Thumb’s Caseville paid off with nearly 4 hours of amazing action.
Not quite the best wind direction but it worked. Winds SW 15-25 mph. Small 1-2 foot swells with some cleaner swells at the break-wall. The slick was saweet as usual.
I was on my 11M with my TT board.
The early birds got the best of it, on 9M kites. By the time I got on the water it lightened up a bit and had more south.
There was more wind up high than on the water.
Mostly sunny, temperatures were summer like, mid-70s and water temperature was probably mid-60s.
