Thanks Mark and Altons. See you there. Hoping windguru is more accurate than Metar TAF

For windsurfing, which one of these launches in reading about is preferred for Monday morning? I don't have a weed fin. And it might also make sense to bring my 72L board I guess, if it gets into 4.1/4.7 territory. How safe are these sites if the wind dies, or if a windsurfer gets totally overpowered?

Thanks!

1st Ave boat launch, should be a few others there it the wind shows up.

I don't have a weed fin.

That could be a problem,but try and see what happens, lots of weeds on Saturday though.

Bring your small gear but forecast looks downgraded. Very safe as the tide will be going out and you could just walk back in. If you're not comfortable just don't sail out too far.

Whidbey NAS blowing SSE 25 knots gusting to 34 knots right now. Solid TAF all day down south. Definitely get up and on this one early today. Looks like a sweet session in store for the dawn patrol crowd

[Alton]

Boundary Bay S 22 (16-30) at 4:45am. Hope it gets steadier.

Looks like more of south than sse.... Maybe the ferry slip is a better option?
