How’s the windsurfing and kiting?
Rowena has full on Gorge Wind and much calmer water than the Gorge’s wildest sites. Doug’s Beach West is approximately 1.25 miles down wind with some of the best swells in The Gorge. It is an easy downwind sail and the current helps you return. Note: When the wind is marginally out of the South, Doug’s Beach is considerably windier than Rowena. When the wind is marginally out of the North, Rowena is considerably windier than Doug’s Beach. This is due to the topography. Plan accordingly when sailing or kiting downwind.
