I’m confused as I keep refreshing the Boundary Bay info and it shows that there should be wind now. 16-20 ish. Yeah, I know, should have gone yesterday.

igetwind is a forecast ... not actual

for actual sensor readings, you'll need a ikitesurf account ($10/month)

or you can Blow-Me at http://wtfbc.ca/blowme.php

Also check the CZBB link under wind sensors, that's the Boundary Bay Airport but is not always accurate for what is happening at 3rd.

You can also view CZBB and CYVR sensors at slappyWind.php which I created before WeatherFlow started tracking these stations (which I had to request them to do).

I personally just use windalert for them now:
