Still above -10 threshold.
Agree onshore shallow only, but I wear a 5/4 and a windbreak layer and its comfy. Thick gloves, touque and suit up at home.
Any precip and careful of icing on your kite and lines, it gets heavy and eventually will not fly.
Good NE spot we found is Semiahmoo hotel. Bay is full circle so safe and wind funnels thru although a bit gusty off the land. Works for all tides, park at base of spit on the right for high tide or TT. Park at small lot mid way down (covered area on right) for foiling on mid to low tide. Given the temps during a NE, I can't ever see it being crowded. There is a long dock for the marina that creates a sweet flatwater setup.
