just wondering what you guys think of the forecast tomorrow:
Wind diminishing to northwest 15 overnight then becoming southeast 10 to 15 Friday morning. Wind increasing to southeast 15 to 20 Friday afternoon.

should i try to take afternoon off work for a nice warm session at locust or boundary bay?

To my eye it shows some promise, but its a long shot (at this time of year).
  • METAR TAF says non-event
  • GFS Spotter shows some promise
  • WindGuru more optimistic
  • tide should work at CNL after 2 pm
  • tide should work at Locust (5') at 4 pm
I'll be keeping an eye on the actuals tomorrow afternoon/evening (since I missed Tuesday evening at Lacarno :oops: ).

Northern Inland Waters forecast doesn't look good either.

In the Summer I don't trust GFS at all and don't even look at it until late September.

Hmmm, Friday borderline up turns me off 'till I get Nexus.

Hopefully we get some wind, could be gusty, watch for thunderstorms!

Can't make it to Locust but an extended lunch break at 3rd is a possibility. No wind on the beach but the webcam shows whitecaps near the border marker. I'll be watching closely.... ;)

Wind is switching to SW ?? Maybe White Rock this afternoon?
I'm still happy to go south avec moi nexus card but I remember hearing SW was not so good for Locust. Maybe I'm wrong.
Getting excited !
