Weather Talk For BC no matter what you ride

Whidbey's cranking

Windsurfing shop talk

Waves started out small, after 90 minutes of wind the swells were quite large!
Side shore current was challenging getting out and getting back.
Barefoot was possible due to lack of barnacles.

Thanks for sharing and sweet photos Faceplant! I have to make a pilgrimage to jwsp sometime.

For today I will settle for wakeboarding on Okanagan lake with some growlers. Nice and still today. Should be fun!

thanks for the info. Even before the wind there is some surf. I'll try it this winter if possible.
