Not the most compelling forecast today but current actual is 21 ese (mostly east, 15-30...). Appears by late morning should rotate more south eventually to SW. On stand by keeping an eye out on the direction and steadiness.

If it stays ESE I'm going to go check out Point Roberts.

Good idea Michael. ESE will be side shore and Gspot shows more wind at PR than other locations. I can't sail today but look forward to hearing your session report.

2c,

Micheal, Lumi bay (33 km SE from PR) is ENE 15 knots already (ahead of forecast), at 11 am will switch SE, but at noon it will turn SW.

Tide at PR is very high (has to be under 12 ft, from 11am if expecting some kind of surf). Saturna over 25 knots SE is also needed for a any PR surf, but it should have some wind.

around SW 25 knots, whole Southern area after 2pm, by forecast. WR seems the place for any action.

Should I head out, I'll take my passport in case. Lighter wind would lead me more to kite & not thinking I'd want to brave launching from Point Roberts yet.

iwindsurf now 18 east (16-21)

Thanks Gabriel, looking for a wind fix today so I just going where the wind is. Not going to rely on any forecast but if White Rock turns on I'll head over there, maybe a double session. :D I'm heading out to PR soon to take a look.

I'll let you know if it's worth coming out to PR to windsurf or not.

Sounds like he went to South Beach, but is not headed for BB.

Went to Gabriels Beach, then went to South Beach, now back at home for a pit stop. Waiting for the wind to pick up or shift.
