Regarding White Rock tide levels, it will become challenging to launch / land your kite just before noon.

Anyone heading to Spanish Banks this morning? Hoping to get there around 9:30am to take a look.

Cheers

Good point - not an issue for windsurf but I would like to try my new kites if the conditions are reasonably sane.

Not 100% for me but that is where I'm leaning and around that time. Just concerned it may get too windy for my 7M (in which case I windsurf)

Best I have is a 9M wave kite (unless I sneak my son's 8m out the door), so depending on which model, I may just be enjoying the concession coffee.

Ferry terminal just disappeared off the Surface Weather Observation.
I’m aiming for flat water.

Last reading it was about 30 to 35 knots. It's windy out here now!

Good sign. Windy days usually takes out the FT sensor.

Beautiful sunny morning wind. Had a short but sweet run on the 4.7 off the bluff in Crescent before mast base failed. Nice to be in the ocean again; still steady out there for those wondering!
