How's the launch by the parking lot at White Rock looking these days? What's the max tide it's doable on? I'm not down with launching on the grass at WR anymore.

Crescent and Ferry alternate options.

I spoke to a WR local yesterday and he says it's going to be a small window like dawn patrol to 9am when you need to come back in.

TAF is suggesting the SW should last into the early afternoon ... but other models look sketchy.

The Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal on a true SW can have nice rollers. I'll keep a eye on the sensor here and if it's marginal 12m conditions then maybe I'll go for a couple of runs at Cypress instead.

Sunny and Windy in Tsawwassen, ferry terminal should be fun. Can't make it out today though!

Good opportunity for a double session after Cypress ... assuming your wife agrees ... today mine wouldn't

No can do after kiting yesterday and snowboarding today. Hopefully get some of the wind tomorrow though.

Yeah when the wind backed off I made the wrong call to skip it today. The 2-4:30 session at WR once the tide was low enough to launch looks like it was pretty sweet.
