Almost 2 hrs on 8m+surfboard in SSE 20-25 with waist high waves. Classic Boundary Bay.

Might go for more after a drink

Getting stronger but punchy. Waves becoming disorganized

Nice score! I would have been there but tuned out yesterday evening when I saw today's forecasted temperatures. In hindsight, a little cooler air would have balanced yesterday's greater wind chill

That's correct. The wind chill was much easier on the hands today (ie. less wind)

Great way to celebrate our statutory holiday with a second consecutive wave session of 2022 under sunny sky.

Three of us at dawn patrol. Will on 12m+TT, Carl on 9m+TT and me on 8m+surfboard. Steady SSE 20-25 with sweet waist high waves for plenty of wave rides until closer to noon when wind got stronger and choppy and waves got disorganized as it started clocking.

Glad you scored another session. I was too slow, and sore from yesterday, to make it out.
Another local taking pictures of you guys today.
