No reading from the last 48 hours, so there’s nothing to explain yet. The breakdown appears with the next weather update.
A town in the Columbia River Gorge where summer heat east of the Cascades pulls a strong westerly up the river from June to September. The wind blows against the current and raises steep swell, and barges share the channel, so riders need solid upwind skills. Portland's airport is about an hour west. As a river spot it has no wave forecast.

For kitesurfing it weighs wind speed, gust stability, coast-relative angle and wave height. Epic is 85–100 (worth flying for), Good is 65–84 (worth a short hop), Fair is 50–64 (rideable), Poor is 0–49 (skip).
Fly into PDX (Portland, Portland International). The flight link on this page opens Aviasales with dates set to the next good spell. Any price shown comes from recent Aviasales searches, not a live quote.
Coastline bearing is a simplified orientation, not a launch-site wind assessment. Always check local conditions before you go.
