The Bonsai Straights are a local phenomenom of increased North winds out in the Gulf Stream caused by Lake Worth sticking out eastward blocking the full force of a north wind. So, if your sitting on our beach drinking an ice cold corona feeling a 10 knot north wind and thinking about a nice mellow cruise out to the
Gulf Stream and back, think again. Take your harnesses because once you clear the tip of Lake Worth, about a mile out, the wind suddenly increases to 15-20 knots and the seas get real big with gentle giant rollers, but be careful because rouges will sneak up and each wave brings gust of it's own. It's like a roller coaster as you creep up the hills then surf down the other side, the trick is to keep going down. After a bout a half hour of this head east, get out of the stream, and fly the shoot back downwind to our beach cause the gulf stram carried you 4 miles north. Or you could sail in to Dog Beach on a beam reach and refill your cooler at the local beach store and visit Tyrone.
