I'll make my final decision as I head south. Good luck wherever you choice to go today!


Agreed centennial is high risk with direction change. Big wind in Maple ridge now. My sense is i it's howling at White Rock. Will it last? Locust gusts rather high :). Leaving to check out White Rock.

Headed for Locust. If I see anything interesting at WR when I pass I'll post.

On shore wind, mild temperature, lots of rain. Wind is less than sketchy sensors indicated when I left. For sure enough to kite but that's a no go for me on rising tide. Doubtful of enough for 5.3.

Spinning SW and clearing at Locust now. Likely headed to Birch Bay (earlier than I thought).

hope someone gets some today. Squamish is inflowing nicely right now, for any of those who are itching... should ease around noon and build back quite nicely in the afternoon. currently 27kts ssw.
beautiful sunny morning here in NV.

Thanks for the OSRs. They're so helpful on inconsistent forecasts like this.
