Friday Westerly?

[seanmurch]

What about this weekend at Locust. Any good? It looks like Sunday am might be okay. Where's the best place to look !

Patrick nailed it, above 4M it is hard/sketchy depending on wind direction and quantity/quality of help. The weeds in the water make it hard to launch even with one other person.


Solo launching/landing below 3.5 is easy as there is sand showing.

NW winds loose lots of power coming into WR, early in the spring/summer the thermal adds which makes for a great time. Tsawassen would likely be the better bet for tomorrow, but an afternoon lightwind session is likely possible in WR.

Locust looks like a possibility for Sunday but still too early to commit.

Thanks Jeff and Patrick. Good to know 3.5m is the sandbar threshold so Friday afternoon is all sandbar. I realize that NW at WR is a long shot but just in cause I want to understand our options.

Ferry terminal already looks kiteable. Jericho looks marginal. Anyone heading out there?

I'm eyeing Iona so I can get some waves in.

I'm good to go this afternoon where ever the wind is.

Alton this is what East beach looks like at 11.5'. Some seaweed at the tide line but this is when sand starts to show. Easy enough to put your kite at the water and walkout. Enough people around to launch if it's windy at any tide just lots of seaweed in your lines if you self land in the water at higher or really low tides. Hope that helps and I'm sure Jeff could add some more local knowledge!

Updated info on launching kites at 3.5 m and 4+ m on the WREB sailing site info page.

2c,
from forecast, sisters is dropping off after 2pm , marginal 15 knots on strait right now, tanking after.
0.5m wave height at hb will hold for a few hours (very small surf), then decrease.

big gear day I guess.

I like what they are doing on 29th street, man made left break is looking nice.

Rob W is pumping 12m at Ferry terminal. Feels like NW 15-18. White caps on North side.
