nobody is sailing sandy point.
40kms away from sandy point in the SE direction is Point Roberts. whatever you get at sandy point, 90% of the time, you get it at Point Roberts 20 minutes later. May seem odd but no wind at Sandy means no waves and flat conditions at windy CNL.

Sensors in the US are real-time every 30 seconds with temperatures taking into account the wind, etc.

Wind (SE 16-18) and waves (disorganized) at Centennial. Tide is high and flooding some beach.

Darrell is rigged and ready to go. I'm going to wait for better waves.

2c,

Saturna cranking South. Sandy ESE.
Local wind : Inland it's NE opposing the SE, that may explain the East wind at CNL .
All the wave energy is on the West side of PR.
