Black Rock YC · Is it a Sailing Day?

🛟Getting strong 16–23 kt — be careful out there.
🌪️Too windy 24–30 kt — best to wait.

Where’s this from?

This is the wind and temperature from Black Rock Yacht Club’s own weather station — the real breeze right where the fleet sails, at Half Moon Bay.

We keep the wind direction simple — one of eight main points: North, North-East, East, South-East, South, South-West, West and North-West.

The time shows when the club’s station last reported — it updates about every minute. Treat it as a live snapshot, and always look at the water too.

Wind and temperature from Black Rock Yacht Club. Always check conditions on the water before you sail.
