BWD now shows local wind mid/late afternoon, but not strong on other models and is low tide... Contemplating a morning to early afternoon run to Columbia but undecided. Dave - Is there a reason you think mid day/ evening? I'm mainly looking @ BWD & the Comox airport forecasts. Also, the tide goes low in the afternoon (not sure if that matters at Columbia).
Hey Mike - from my limited exposure to Columbia Beach (2 sessions) both sessions did not deliver as forecasted on BWD but we didn't get skunked either. Saturday's forecast looks like a good one to try out Columbia (full day) so get there as early as possible just in case it backs off early. On both trips it was blowing at
Ballenas Islands but it didn't reach Columbia. After plenty of patience the wind arrived along with all the locals - a bunch of friendly addicts just like us. You'll likely see DavidM there.
METAR/TAF looks promising for
Comox Saturday morning so that can be your plan B.
