Ferry term might be a bit ambitious for me. May try Dog's Beach in the afternoon, if it picks up.

Gabriel, I also noticed that the current status of the work at 29th seems to have improved the wave in front of our friend's house. On the other hand I think they will be doing some work below the tide line still which may change things. We will see, but as it stands today I am hoping for a West Van "Little Sandspit" in the image of the Santa Barbara original ;)

Sandheads' sensor (Gary Point Park) is showing 24 and Tsawwassen is up over 20 in the gusts so the early afternoon is looking good. Get out there if you can. Didn't bring my gear downtown with me today so I'm SOL. Maybe dawn patrol tomorrow. DB

OSR dog beach: marginal. Caps on the water though so I'm going on 10m SB. One foiler down at the sailing centre and one kite struggling up here.

I just launched slappy, he is holding ground but really having to work the kite. The wind at dog beach is light with a few kites pumped and ready waiting for it to fill in a bit.

Nice 12m+surfboard session at the Tsawwassen ferry terminal from 11:30am-1:30pm with Rob W (12m), Andrew (17m) and James (12m) in NW 14-16. Late arrivals got skunked. Francis scored a windsurfing (slalom) + 5.6 Hucker session on the north side.

Watching on the webcam some windsurfer at Jericho Sailing Centre ripping it up. Is that Richi?

Hope the wind at dog beach is just as strong
