Thursday SE to SW

[Chris Klohn]

Pam Rocks switched to inflow at 1000am. That insane pressure gradient should now fill Boundary Bay in from one side to the other out of the SE-SSE. The pressure is still plummeting at SISW1 with SE 40 Gusting to 55 knots. I would guess things will continue to ramp up at Centennial and the threat of the wind going SW is very small given zero direction shift far to the south. Looks like an all day classic SE-SSE for you guys!

Just another quick note on the wx while I’m waiting for the wind at Nicola.......

I was just looking at the wx models and the warm front on the east side of the low has just moved through the Lower Mainland. The cold front is on its way now and the surface low continues to deepen as it spins up. The cold front is where the winds will really go nuclear this afternoon. NWWS expects gusts to approach 70mph for Bellingham and other areas exposed to the SE-SSE. With the pressure as low as it is and still falling it’ll be violent once that low begins to fill from the SSE. Enjoy the liquid smoke on the water this afternoon.......it should be insane!!

Looking ahead, Sunday morning is showing some serious potential for another Boundary Bay high wind session. There’s another big low pressure storm moving towards us in the eastern Pacific. Timing between Saturday night and Sunday afternoon is still a bit grey but it looks very windy again.

Thanks Chris. After 2 hrs of overpowered riding on 7m+surfboard it's now very uncivilized with 40 knot gusts. Even Cash is complaining on his 8m. Might just call it quits while I'm still ahead.

Cheers Chris, safe adventures for whoever is out there!

really? the holyburn club is in a bit of a shadow, are the readings off?

Really really. I trust my feelings over readings.
Onshore now. Sailable again.
My feeling is 15 to 18 knots south lots of sunshine
