Clouds over Pemberton are starting to break up. Mags 99 is looking promising today.

What are the predictions for tomorrow's wind at the spit? More of the same as today would be nice.

I expect Sunday to be another classic Squamish day like today.
Today Squamish delivered steady SW 20-25 from 12:30-5pm. Perfect 9m conditions. Over 20 kiters and 8 windsurfers. Worked on some tips I got from Sam yesterday to crank my turns - making great progress.

Yet another great session at Mags 99.
The Spit was good too. Steady SW 20-25 from 12:30-5pm on 9m+surfboard. Super busy. Excellent turn out from windsurfers and kiters.

Warm wind. Had my doubts that it was going to happen as the start of the inflow was delayed and didn`t kick until about 12 noon. Easy launch off the grass on the high-mid tide. It felt like summer standing on the spit, but the first splash in the river was a stark reminder that the water was chilly. Fun freestyle water even on the higher tide. Fun little ramps to starboard at times. Lots of spinning in the river today and saw both Adrian/Adrien's throwing forwards! The wind was a little unsettled and there was a pronounced wind corridor at the mouth of the river. Lots of kites out - counted close to 40 out at around 3:30. Nice to see DaveB, Jerry and Alton on kites and AG, Adrien, Rob, Joe, Francis, Lubo, Massimo, and a few others windsurfing.

Squamish is looking strong today. Enjoy Mags 99 without me. Need to rest up for Sunday.

Gear is loaded in car. Acadia or Squamish?
