I just got back from another great trip to Nitinat. The hot weather actually increased the wind and we had excellent kiting every day. There was no smoke in the air and the campsite seemed to run smoothly at it's current reduced capacity. Campsites are still in high demand and day trips are not allowed unless you are taking a lesson at the school. The store at the village is open most of the time but seems to close some days for various reasons. August sometimes is not reliable but this year it's been great.
