Lucas, I agree.
The Launch at Breakwater Spit (Rivtow) near Harrison marina is lousy for windsurfing (offshore wind with a huge wind shadow) and the wind is usually too light to be worth the drive.
Bear Creek, on the other hand, is well worth the trip when the setup is right. Yesterday it was 10 kts stronger there than at Rivtow, side onshore and very steady. Great camping too.
The best weather setup is a strong temp gradient from coast to interior, the day before a weather change, like yesterday. Just a good thermal will usually produce nice sailing at Bear Creek but a bit of a frontal boost is even better.
