Holy Crap it's windy right now locally! 57 knot gust at Sandheads at 0345 :shock:

Where's everyone going today?

If Acadia holds up, I'm heading there for some smooth swell. If Acadia tanks at 7am, I'm heading to Point Roberts.

Go to Point Bob Alton. 36 Gusting 47 at the Ferry Terminal and lots of North in it. G-Spot shows it hanging on longer there too.

Point Roberts looks crazy (survival sailing for me with gusts in mid 40's knots). Alton, since you're the only one saying, I'm presently aiming for Acadia with PR as alternative. I'm aiming for a bit after sunrise and am keeping an eye out for changes.

Ya Point Roberts looks crazy, and White Rock looks light, I guess Acadia, but I might wait and see what happens. Everyone else thinking Acadia?

34 Gusting 44 sounds fun :D Powered 3.7-4.2, huge swell, wrapping waves on the point, nice NW side shore direction, better exposure to NW direction, perfect tide setup..........does it get better?

Funny to hear you say that. I remember one pretty crazy day down there earlier this year. With no takers at PR, my first stop will be ACD.
