Do we chase this evening's westerly and tomorrow morning's westerly ... then get skunked twice? or say "F! it" and head up to Squamish?

I say just keep your expectations really low and you'll be ok either way :D

I can't make the evening session but eyeing the morning. Have to drop Kona off though as too warm to bring her so not dawn patrol. I hope for a kite session on outgoing tide but will have the wind foil back up option.

Looks good. I might join you for a wing session. Is it pay parking at Dog Beach?

Free parking at Dog Beach. Most Vancouver beaches are free parking. Fingers crossed for a strong morning westerly

Thanks. If anyone is there yet could you post an OSR. Just getting ready to leave but it looks like it's dropped off.

That's why I was asking. I might just stay here as the Ferry Terminal is windy, I'd rather catch some waves at Acadia though.

Last Sunday Alton Jr and I dropped down some sweet rollers on our surfboards outside by the freighters between Dog Beach and Upper Acadia. It was Alton Jr's first time in head high rollers ... she was super excited

At Acadia, good looking swell, wind looks very south and iffy 1/2 out to dolphin, one winger out and one windsurfer on 4.7
