Epic 3 hrs session. 9m then 7m then back to 9m+surfboard. Perfectly dialed in steady SSE 20-25. Huge turn out. Super fun riding waist to chest high waves from the boat launch down to Centennial. Smooth water was way better than expected. Wish everyday was like this.

Marathon morning at Centennial. On the water at about 915, and stayed out until 1145. Spent the morning on 5.0/85 litres - had to bag it out a bit when it lightened but had just enough power to stay upwind and play in the few nice waves I could find off 3rd Ave (near the shore, and mid-bay). Glad I saw this morning's EC upgrade to SE 20-30 for Georgia Straight, otherwise I probably wouldn't have risked the drive with the so-so forecast. Lucky guess today!!

Surprise. Wasn't expecting much of anything so this was an 'upgrade', even with the wind oscillating and no swell. Tired to make the 4.5/92 work a few times, but it was all 5.3/116. Had a fun front row view of M carving an outside gybe in a bowl.
Nice to hit the last of the local streak of wind. Close to 20 windsurfers out (and Alton on kite). Thanks to Brian C for the early OSR (and M for the follow-up text).Gallery (to view as a slideshow hit the screen icon - top right)

Thanks for the pics Dave. Fun day, super choppy and the wind was up and down but it was great to see such a large turnout of windsurfers!

Huh??? Waves were clean upwind between the boat launch and Centennial (ie. minimal chop)

Yes, I found the waves were best upwind of Centennial, near 3rd. With the up-and-down wind most people who launched at Centennial didn’t go very far upwind and missed it.
Best clean swell was last Wednesday, when the whole bay was filled with “beauties”!!
