peaks at 9am (all Southern area). From surf perspective is sweet (tide is perfect).
I struck gold and nobody is there when it happens, minimal current on beach. Sunday's sunset&clouds (almost hawaiian), crisp clean ocean, low wind, sweet surf sets, and lots of space. Inspected beach at low tide (6ft, no rocks). All in all I won't post much on PR surf, post once about it and move on (i'll go selfish on this break), but when Wind gets into 30-40 knots, tide at 7ft-10ft, I'll alert Adrien as beach has no rocks, flat beach bottom for 50 meters, extended break (flat for 50 meters with a sudden drop after) great for windsurfing, at least to try it once.

I have seen it thrown around on here lots but still have no idea what you mean when you say PR Surf...

Sounds like you scored Gabriel. I was wondering if you were out there, the waves were bigger than usual on Sunday and I was wondering what it was like out at Point Roberts. It had been far to long since I'd last sailed to miss a Centennial session though. :D

Centennial, 1 mile outside, is surely better for windsurfing. I am taking morning off, smallest lightest surfboard for this session. Warm too, no ferries, short drive... salivating already.

So, I'm just inquiring for...a friend. Say a kiter was kiting at 3rd in the good wind in the am, Thu, what time should my friend pack up and head to PR to catch some surf, considering the tide, etc.? Also, where exactly would be a good place for my friend to go at PR, considering all the pertinent information?
Lastly, my friend never drops in or snakes waves...even with SUP'ers... :mrgreen: , so no need to worry about "one too many". A pm would work too, if this beta is too highly classified for general viewing on WTF. Thanks very much.
