Avoiding Trumpland. I'm on standby for 3rd Ave this afternoon. Going to be shallow.

I agree, Canada first. Trumpland last.

Just to round out the options for those looking to windsurf, 8 am reading at Pam Rocks was:
  • NNE 38 (gusting 47) mph;
  • 8 degrees; and
  • tide is almost slack high-mid until about 2pm.
3.2m (9am)
2.5m (11am)
3.3m (2pm)
4.0m (4pm)

Not likely going to work for me, but thought I would put it out there in case it works for others.

The Locust sensor just jumped to 20+ when it switched South.

Looks like Trumpland is the better choice. Make kitesurfing great again ...

Offshore still in white rock, some rollers coming in so wind is out there. Hoping for a quick session before dark. Come on daylight savings !
