the switch SE to S to SW is usually unreliable. While SE all is good, S is a maybe, SSW is no good unless reinforced by the Northern strait.

Do you want wind?. Tomorrow it's all SE, and a better chance of a good time...

if by 7am you don't see a good SE then go to work.

Fun 45 min session at 3rd Ave on 9m + surfboard with Cash on 10m+TT. Only SSE 18-20 with sharp knee to waist high ramps for plenty of jumps. Waves cleaned up outside for plenty of nice hits. Worried it would clock so quickly returned to shore with it got weak.

Fingers crossed for more Thursday morning.

For anyone who may have been at work feeling a bit jealous today, fear not. It was a rigfest/slogfest day at Centennial. Arrived to see lots of whitecaps and promising wind at 845, so rigged 5.0. By the time I found a dog-walker to help with the dry suit zipper, it was almost over. Planed away from the beach and slogged thereafter. Took a break and chatted for a while with Darrell and Dave, then decided that I should have rigged the 5.7. That was probably true at 9 am but not by the time I tried it. Felt a few little nudges from the waves while sailing inbound, but otherwise just more slogging.
After an early lunch, Darrell decided to take out his 6.6 "session-saver" so I gave it one last try with a bagged-out 6.0. This time we both planed away from the beach, but the wind patch was only near the shore, and rapidly shrinking! We each got a few short runs and then decided to cut our losses and beat the tunnel traffic.
Enjoyed the warm spring air, thigh-deep water (very reassuring in sketchy wind!), and socializing. Centennial was taunting us today though.

Heard from Cash that Tsawwassen delivered a good SW late this afternoon. Hope more riders caught it today

I caught a little over an hour at the terminal today, from about 4-5:15 ..probably 18-25kn then it tanked. Cash arrived and it picked up again. First time at the terminal - nice spot
