Yep, that blasted Delta wind! Aways seems like the Delta is much more windy, more often, in the spring and earlier summer, with more calm days in the fall. All with exceptions, of course.
I've found the wind reports I've used somewhat unreliable -- I've written off days based on predictions, only to find perfect wind conditions when the morning arrived. And vice versa. I've also experienced many days when the wind conditions changed throughout the day. Some days it's windy in the morning and calms down in the afternoon and other days it's just the opposite.
Nowadays, I usually just step outside in the morning and see how much the trees are moving and plan accordingly, hoping for the best. Generally speaking though, unless conditions are truly bad (like you've described), there are usually good options if you have some kind of watercraft that can put you on the leeward side of things.
