Simon - maybe, maybe not. We'll be chasing the wind today. SE in the morning then WNW in the afternoon. METAR/TAF is calling for a late afternoon arrival so there's a chance you'll miss the westerly if it arrives too late.

Boundary Bay E 15 at 6am. Hope it clocks SE 20+ by 8am.

WindGuru for Boundary Bay and METAR/TAF are forecasting weaker Easterlies most of the morning ... YUK.

I'll probably wait for the Westerly at Acadia this afternoon.

Actual show strong. Northwest in the straight. Acadia should fill in once the outflows die off.

Looks like we are stuck in the middle. Sand Heads NW 17g27 and Saturna is SE 19g24

Just went by the Jericho sailing club to grab some gear. Wind at Acadia has already shifted to a light NW although the Jericho sensor still shows E.
