That's impossible, westerlies have been extinct for a long time. Environment Canada started this rumour.

That was my plan for Acadia but G-Spot looks downgraded. Fortunately, other models still hold some promise.

4m at Acadia is quite hazardous. No need for a board toss - the shore break, boulders and logs will take care of that.

:shock: I hear you on a 'good' day when the waves are the size of freight trains scouring the beach.
:idea: But if it’s really tough, there is always the cove at the dog park just to the east.

I will be keeping an eye on this one as it has the classic low-high-low Daisy-chain for a 'good' clearing wind. With a little luck it just might happen, in daylight! :oops: :roll: ;)

Sunday NW looks like it has a chance, not sure where to go for it though.
