TJ's is looking good for Boundary Bay (Friday morning) and Locust (all day). Locust might just nuke again. Déjà vu?

Boundary Bay waves are better ... but if it's too light then Locust to worth considering.

Oh Locust is worth it for windsurfing all right. I've done about 8 trips down in the last six months and it can be super fun. Tide will provide shallow, sailable water all day tomorrow. The low tide under 5' feet at noon may require a short walk to the south. Very user friendly and safe place to sail with onshore wind and shallow water. If the wind is pumping the ramps build and some fun little backside rides can be had. Negatives from what I've seen are: hike down/up to/from beach (about 200 m each way), debrie in the water (can whip you over the nose), gusty (on most days), shifty (can be a touch sideoff at the launch to cause a bit of a windshadow), wild swings in wind speeds (can turn on and off and back on again).

Personally, I really like the spot. Onshore and playful, kind of like a gentler version of White Rock East Beach.
