Sure. Mornings, try the Event Site or the Marina (both in Hood River).
Afternoons, if the windy spot does its usual slide to the East, go to Rowena.
Other possible spots: Bingen, Viento, Rock Creek.
The Hatchery/Swell City will not suit you well, but you might try Doug's
Beach. Big swell in the middle, but wide areas of flat water on both sides
where the water is only 2-5' deep.
