Brad - this one is for you! ;)

Short version: Head for Point Roberts or White Rock. With the higher tides (mid-3’s to 4 at 1 pm) and the spinning wind, I will likely make Point Roberts my first stop (but will adjust my plan based on actuals as I travel south).

Long Version: Two twin lows (969 mb and 972 mb) are forecast to join join forces and travel across the middle of Vancouver Island and the Lower Mainland today (good). Wind during the night saw winds S rotating to SE in the 20 to 30 mph range at Centennial, but the wind has rotated to SW as of 6 am. The consensus forecast is for SW morning wind in the 20-30 mph range (with some swings back to S or maybe even SE) before tanking about 1 pm.

Chris posted his vote for PR here. Alton, others please added your thoughts!

Again, hope to see lots of smiling faces today! :D 8-)

Tsawwassen SSW 18 g 25 at 6 am

If it stays SW Point Roberts ETA 8 am, otherwise Centennial if it swings SE to S.

Thinking Point Roberts. I'd really like to sail Centennial but the potential of off-shore wind (SW) adds risks (wind not for miles out, getting stuck a long way from shore...). So at this moment I'm aiming for the Point (8ish eta) but will adjust as it goes and follow the crowd.

BTW: Squamish 41g57, Harrison a mere 31g45.

Starting to think WR might be the best option. Posted 2 OSR's from PR.

I'm at Tim Horton's at the crossroad of point Roberts and centennial. Iwindsurf shows a wind shift to SSE but also a wind drop. Checking out point Roberts as I'm here.
