Interesting video of them launching:

I remember a day like that when I launched. Same leg I think. Very painful launch. I remember thinking I was out and throwing my paddle back to the ground crew. Only to be smashed by more breakers later and having to paddle like crazy with my hands.

The good news is when that breeze comes in they will be smoking up the beach. I remember a rediculous deep reach double trapped and travelled all the way to the beam. We had to work the mainsheet the entire 100 miles. That was a serious workout.

I also remember some rivers coming in and getting hit with funny waves and current. They call them pissups. Nothing serious but definitely weird if you haven't experienced it before.

This is a long leg but I'm betting on a nice reach for a finish in the 6pm range.
