Thanks Chris I've been trying to figure out if I should head out now or wait. Think I'll wait now. Saturna was looking weak so I was afraid it was going to tank which often happens when there is no wind South to support Boundary Bay, however every once in a while Boundary Bay gets wind when there isn't much down south. Thanks again for your posts and stoke.

Whidbey SE18G28
Smith SE25G30
Sandy Point Shores SE18G26
Locust SE11G20

All building, all pressures dropping, all directions stable. I'd like to see a little more aggressive pressure drop over the next hour at Smith Island. Something around 0.10" per hour drop would be perfect :)

Stoke is always there Michael!! Watching the wx from abroad while at work is the next best thing to being on the water. Love the posts, pics and GoPro footage. I'll catch you on Nicola this summer.

Still plenty of wind at 3rd Avenue. Jack and AJ are ripping it up on 9 meter kites.

Is it worth the drive from Richmond? It looks light on the webcam now.

Blind optimism paid off today big time today. 9:30am-12:30pm on 12m then 9m+surfboard in SSE 18-22. Conditions just kept on improving. Afternoon was sunny with small knee high waves and 30' glassy spacing outside between the boat launch and mile marker.

Worked on aggressive S-turns all day. My legs are burning now. Fun riding with James, Jack, Shane, Chalmers, Steve R, AJ and a few more. Saw Michael and Ryan? windsurfing today.
