I definitely need to commit to Whidbey next time a low slides through the JDF from the west...4ft@5s at Hein bank and building. A repeat of last week..

Persistent TAF forecast, bumping it back a few hours and even increasing it a couple knots... hmmm

TAF Forecasted Mar 18 10:38am

Acadia looks great, 3 guys out from 3.7 to 6.2. I'm guessing it's 5ish for most guys, going out on a 5. Cmon out!
