Knowing how the winds are in Simpson Bay today, I am guessing Orient is really howling today. Anybody have an update? Thought about heading that way tomorrow but may have to rethink that idea.

You haven't seen anything yet. Wait until next week, starting Monday and for most of the week! The wind and waves are really coming! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />
The two calmest days this week will probably be Saturday and Sunday, but still enough wind for the Regatta.

Saw the forecast for even higher winds in the next several days. Since, it appears the wind is coming from the east (heading west), does anyone know if the beaches on the west side of the island (Happy Bay,Baie Rouge, Baie Prunes) would be a better bet for the next week? Thanks!

How about today, Tuesday March 7? Trying to get the webcam to load but slow internet is not allowing it to happen.
Thanks.

20 to 25 knot winds from the East-Northeast with 5 to 6 foot waves.
The winds are going to be like this until Friday.
Camera on Orient probably blew away! <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Yikes.gif" alt="" />

We left SXM on Sunday, and felt very wind blown on Orient the entire last week. (We stay in Orient). We explored a few other beaches and found Grand Case to be quite protected from the wind. I really enjoy GC during the day. Of course, Le Galion is always a respite from the Orient winds and still very close to Orient. We walk there from the south end (Club O end) of Orient Bay.
