Pleasanton pushing 105 F today and tomorrow. Santa Cruz 70 ish F.

Guess we're headed back to Santa Cruz early tomorrow out of the heat. Amazing what a few miles the climate can change in coastal Cali.

How is Pleasanton? Any good waves in the area (ie. how far away)?

I know kiting at 3rd ave isn't too far away.

Pleasanton is just over the first range of SF bay area hills going east.  Inland enough to get hot when the high pressure systems come through.  No waves in Pleasanton, it is where my other home is, lived there for over 26 years.

There can be a temperature differential as much as 35 F degrees between Pleasanton and Santa Cruz at times, though most of the time the differences are more like 5 to 15 F difference.

Low pressure systems will allow the Pacific cool wind and fog to funnel into Pleasanton, I call it the "air conditioning".

No surf anywhere near Pleasanton. You mean Turd Ave?   Grossest kiteboard spot I've ever been to. I was debuting a new kite and hindenburged it into knee deep mud/cat shit/broken shells. I blame the 200ft tall driving range net immediately upwind of launch. sorry for the rant;) that place is gross though. too bad its probably the most consistent wind in the bay. I rolled up my muddy new kite and vowed never to return.

Back in 1987-89 we used to sail at 3rd St- San Mateo Bridge.  No launch area, and great parking across the street. The inner cove area is shallow, but once you get past the sand bar, its deep through the channel.  With 25+ winds and an ebb tide you got to play 6-8' swells in the channel.  Not crowded at all too!  Everyone was still sailing up at Coyote Point.
