Daily Overview

Hood River is showing disappointing conditions with winds maxing out at only 12-17 kt over the next three days, well below the needed 18+ kt threshold. WNW/W direction is decent, but gusts reaching 24-28 kt create concerning variability with gust factors exceeding 2.0. The weekend looks particularly weak with 2-12 kt base winds, and Friday's rain adds another negative factor.

Bottom line: No rideable sessions - wait for stronger, more consistent thermal winds to return.
