Crap! Already hit SSE 30. Hoping for a civilized 7m session.

Hi Alton,

Thanks for the password reset. Looks like it’s going to be an epic afternoon for you guys. The pressure has been falling like a stone to the south as the center of the low is sliding up the west coast and then NE over Vancouver Island. The wind direction at all the key reporting stations to the south is perfect right now. I would expect Centennial to start pumping once the pressure at Pam Rocks stops falling and the wind direction turns from outflow to inflow. This would indicate the center of the low has passed to the north which is necessary for that big southeast wind to push into the bay. I’m looking forward to read the reports and see the pics this afternoon. I’m off to Nicola again for another cold water big south westerly.

Happy Holidays!

Cheers,

Chris

Great to read your post Chris! It has been a while.

Osr centennial. This one's legit. Trees are whisting. I see ramps all the way inside. I think 25-30 knots on the beach. Bring your small gear. Almost enough light to go. Warm. 10c.

Ya Chris great to here from you again! Have fun at Nicola!

BB airport sensor gusting to 35 knots so CNL is probably the same or more.

Thanks Guys.

I’ve been following the forum every windy day and enjoying all the comments and pictures. Have a great day on the water. I’m just leaving to Nicola now.

Cheers,

Chris

82 litre. 4.0. Out of control as ****.

reading 34 kts gusting 41 out there @ tswassen? Don't feel like chancing it on the 7m, do you guys think the gusts will come down to <35 anytime? OSR said 25~ but the readings seem stronger?

Osr Ambleside. Sailable on SE and SW. No chasing wind here. All alone here.
