WSW off shore at Dog Beach - not good.

WSW side on at Ambleside or White Rock ... if it comes in. Where to go????

[Alton]

You can launch at any tide if you use the sandy beach, trouble is your kite will get destroyed by the rowdy dogs running amok.

You can see pics of Dog Beach at 1.7m (the shelf), 2.4m (waist deep), 3.4m (swimming), here https://www.icloud.com/sharedalbum/#B0l5oqs3qG9JUbD

So basically "swimming" at Dog Beach after 3pm - not good

White Rock ... hmmm

High tide launching at WR worse than Dog Beach though :S

Seems like Iona is the call, dunno if I can make it work tomorrow though.

How about Point Roberts?

How about Point Roberts?

Models show Tsawwassen and Point Roberts getting the best wind exposure

[Alton]

Angus - Tide tables show 3.7m - 2.9m at Iona Beach. Will it be a long walk on the sand bar at these times?

Hi guys, I've only windsurfed at centennial at the last big blast about a month ago so I don't know much about the other sites. Alton mentionned Ambleside for this evening which would be great because closer to home. Where is the launch exactly and are there any hidden rocks out there? Seems most of you are looking at Tsawwassen, I'll keep checking the posts to see where the group is going.

More like NNW. PR not looking bad. But mild wind for WB which will make things even easier for surfing.

But West side of PR looks better for wind ...

Ambleside rarely has enough wind for windsurfing. Light wind and shore break make it impossible to get out on a windsurfer at Ambleside.
