Looks like we might get a decent NE at Centennial tomorrow. Sunny and 16 degrees too :D

Hey Slappy! I've never kited there before. Where/when do people usually show up there? At 3rd Ave? Mind giving me a heads up when you're heading out?

Yeah, we kite at 3rd ave.

Looks like there might be decent foiling conditions at Jericho tomorrow so I'm not sure I'll make the trek out to bbay for the NE.

On the other hand though this NE might be decent:

CYXX Abbotsford
Sun 8am-10am NE 25g35


Tide is a bit too high for waves though.

I'm going to try post point in bellingham since this front will miss my usual spots.

Up to 23g34 now but that wind isn't making it to the coast anywhere yet.

Models suggest NE may arrive late afternoon. Not sure if I have that much patience.

I'm thinking of heading to BB. Its getting really windy here in Langley and it looks like the wind is picking up on the BB Webcam. Anyone thinking of pulling the trigger?

Looks pretty offshore on the Bbay webcam. I think a better place to check out given the high tides is Blackie Spit by Crescent Beach. I think I'd go there before Bbay, looks like the outflows are centered along a band from White Rock down to the north tip of Bellingham.
My window to kite today is rapidly closing, don't know if it will shift NE enough at 3rd/Centennial to make it worth the trip....

Hope you get some!
