Can anyone tell me where the tide is measured in Boundary, and what height in the tide charts it needs to be for foiling?

For windsurfing I look for 9ft minimum. I have wind foiled from the boat launch (1a) in boundary bay in 9ft+ tides. There are 3 sandbars that you have to wade out over, maybe 5-600feet. You might be able to foil over the 3rd one. I had a 90cm mast and was wishing for a smaller one.

I see lots of people launch from 3rd on foils, not sure what the deal is there.

Oh ya and weeds...
