Tide is predicted to be slight flood until mid-day, then slight ebb. Not likely to have a big affect IMHO, but it might push in the same direction as the wind all day (if the wind rotates WSW through NW). :?

Centential as first option, can't beat a good day there, failing that Point Roberts.

Agreed. Yesterday at Centennial and low tide was orgasmic. Depending on direction options are:

1. SE to S - Centennial
2. SW to NW - Point Roberts
3. W - White Rock

Isn't that like peeing in your wetsuit?

Yep - I've got a weak bladder when it comes to super smooth swell.

What direction will it be??? If you believe windguru gfs, it's SW in morning then later morning to SSE and west late. Presently it suggests Point Roberts to start as White Rock hasn't been great on S or SSE. I guess we'll find out in the morning. Should be good!

Personally, not too concerned about direction. So long as wind shows up, I'll be happy. :D 8-) Not a day for sleeping in though. If actuals favour PR, I would suggest getting to the boarder early - nothing more furstrating than sitting still when it is blowing 20+ :twisted:

Hope to see lots of smiling faces tomorrow!!! ;)

Van is packed and I plan to chase the earlybird scouts, so OSR's by phone would be MUCH appreciated [again, my old Blackberry doesn't work with this site - can't access anything beyond the menus :( ]
Hope to see everyone tomorrow.
