Looks like after a triple-dip La Niña we’re on track for a El Niño in June.
Other than less hurricanes in the Atlantic could someone remind me how this might affect wind sports in the SE? You know, the important stuff.
Hoping we don’t lose the Summer Breeze

Wait, we had a summer breeze? I remember when a 7.5 was the big sail and basically packed up the shortboards in May and didn't get them back out until mid September. Ah, the good ol' days.
I got nothing to answer your question, though. (Just here to bitch and whine, as usual.) Good article on El Niño and it's unexpected behaviour

Okay a occasional summer breeze. Or maybe foiling just made it seem breezier.
Oh, absolutely! It changed EVERYTHING. I think my most used sails last summer were the 4.7 and 5.4.
Currently kinda concerned that the lake is getting colder
That’s no good. Juliette seems to be warming up nicely but it’s not being fed by two freezing cold rivers. 🥶
