Man it's looking like a sweet afternoon session that might go 'till dark tonight. Tides are great until dark.

Sadly I'm sitting this one out >.<

Oh boy, looks like the wind switched SW and died.

Might still be really good up at Acadia with the low tide as you can get our around the UBC point.

Awesome day. Launched from Locarno at 2pm. Well powered on 12m+surfboard in W 18-20. Followed Chuck, Cash and Chris up to Spanish Banks. Cash and I continued to Dog Beach. I couldn't find any waves at Acadia so returned to Dog Beach for fun knee high waves. Surprisingly chop was only significant at the Spanish Banks marker, otherwise pretty smooth everywhere.

At 4pm dark rain clouds quickly rolled in from the North Shore so we darted back to shore.

After packing up and ready to go home, the wind returned at 5pm. Cash and Chuck convinced me to put on my wet wetsuit for another session.

Scored another sweet mini-wave session on 12m+surfboard in super steady W 18. Finally called it quits at 7pm when most people left.

A repeat tomorrow?
