Considering wind direction and chance of rain it seems to me that Wolf would be the place.

Molly is not excited

It was a bit light when I arrived at Wolf and like usual I didn’t wait strategically but unrolled the 7.5 right away. Luckily one of the Greenwood guys came to say hi and for the few minutes we chatted the wind started to pick up. The 7.5 went back in the car and the 6.5 came out. I should start calling the 6.5-the Wolf sail. I use it a lot here especially in 5.7 conditions because it pairs nicely with the 110 Atom unlike the 5.7 Revo which favours 3 straps. It may seem like too much sailing 6.5 in 5.7 conditions but the Retros are great freerace sails that can handle a lot of wind if you trim them smart.
The wind was very patchy at first giving me almost 50/50 shlog/plane ratio, but it stabilised soon after and gave me a nice blasting at edge of my pants 2-3 hrs. We even got a lucky rain storm at the end that kept the wind going for another 1/2 hrs when it was supposed to die down . Sailing fast in rain can be a little painful on the face though. 4 pm I was already out relaxing on the bench under an awning chatting with Manuel. At that point I was secretly hoping that the wind won’t come back-I was exhausted. My prayers were heard.

The wind strength must have been better then this sensor is showing


My camera didn’t record half of the time so the most I found in the footage is 33 mph
