My same observations. Looks like wind was cranking earlier, then shrunk to light. Seems like it's trying to come back. Temperature/wind to be weighed with tide direction. Outgoing tide in morning (pull upwind) then incoming starting around noon (pointfest).

I might just do a quick poutine run at Cypress ... then re-evaluate the situation

Probably the same at Acadia. 6 degrees but sun helps.

A most memorable day in Vancouver. After an epic session at Cypress, I quickly beated up to Acadia (from Spanish Banks) on 7m+surfboard. Perfectly dialed in with full de-power in steady WNW 25-30. Epic chest high waves with huge clean sections between. Stoked to share the waves with hard core windsurfers (Johnny, C36, Brian?) and kiters (Chuck, Dan, Daniel, Ben ... and many more). The warm of the strong afternoon sun made it almost feel tropical.

Called it quits after 2.5 hrs TOW when Acadia waves started getting disorganized.

Snowboarding in the morning. Windsurfing in the afternoon. Not bad at all.

Repeat of last weekend, 4.5 and 78L at Acadia. 4 guys doing the afternoon shift, classic acadia conditions. Hope we get a little less wind more tomorrow evening so I can try the wing ding thing.
