It'll be raining and then turn into thunder. Not the best day, but I'm going to stay close to Montrose because if it clears up for a second before the big storm it always blows stinky wind ESE so the pier blocks all the waves

Got a 30minute session at Montrose. Rigged up the big 14m and watched the black clouds slowly roll in. Once they got close I came right in and put the kite down. 2 minutes later the wind switched 180* within a 30 second window. Packed it all up and got in the car before the first rain drops hit.
