Maybe not. Sunday's forecast looks a little suspicious.
Low 5°C to 7°C High. Brrrrr ...
Wind off shore at Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal. Yikes!

I would agree re the temp except my poor choices yesterday left me waiting in the car in the rain for wind at the wrong locations. So hoping for just a nice short session N side terminal WS to take the edge off.

Jericho just tanked in the last half hour as per Slappy's graph, I should have brought the paddle board.

Hope you score! Looks really windy at my place, was thinking about heading to Gulf Rd but I'm too slow this morning.

Paying the dues - 3 skunks in a row!
Almost abandoned the effort as was 1 degree in Maple Ridge. Frost to scrap from windshield and fog. Not going would have been the right choice for the wrong reason. Arrive at terminal to 7 degrees. Felt warm - not good as windchill on NW is usually cold. Not much wind. It's been years since my last session on N side of terminal. I should have paid more attention to the launch on my last pointless trip here a last week. Very steep rip rap to water. Option was a few hundred meter trek to a "spit". There was wind but SW direction made the terminal interfering with the wind (wind shadow/streaky wind). On my first walk out the spit it look weak - though wind clearly out in the straight. Back to car ready to leave when car started shaking. Now it was 4.5 or 5.3? Second walk to spit. Maybe 5.3 - water was light chop, wind seemed streaky. Back at car wind was light again. I probably could have made a go of it but it didn't seem worth it.
On the way back, the kite launch on the south side looked very appealing (logs up on the beach where the belong - vs high tide). However, didn't bring kite gear as did not want to be tempted to off shore wind on a "wind fail" forecast.
Lesson - forget N side of terminal in these conditions to windsurf and go to Point Roberts.
Mood - good. The sunrise and clear skies were beautiful

Condolences. Well at least it's been a good December. 7 sessions for me. Mostly on 7m.
