that's what I saw at 430am. Trees were not moving, just strong gusts once in a while (@ Marpole close to the airport). The wind was not hitting my West window. When I saw 1.6HB I was very surprised (I was expecting 0.8 by the lack of wind).
WB had not much wind at 5 am when I arrived slowly increasing by 7 am it was cranking by then.
it was a strange morning (if looking for wind), Sand heads showing 30+, but not noticeable at the airport ... I was ready to head to North shore but given the lack of wind headed to WB. 13ft tide (high) with 1.5mhb gave the perfect combination for big ramps and speed, best waves I've seen this year.
more surf tomorrow, 1mHB but no local wind.
