Not sure exactly how people forecast for Locust, but Gspot looks good down there for tomorrow as of 12pm. This forecast also looks good:

I'm definitely keen to go check it out!

Thoughts?

Looks good on g-spot. Always check TJ's after 10:00 PM the night before going to Locust though:

Also worth checking the airport forecast too:

Wish I was free on Saturday >.<

Cool, thanks for info! Tide looks high enough for windsurfing too.

I have a feeling that there are at least two others considering the trip down. :D ;)

Is there a better launch for windsurfers or do you guys hump your gear all the way down the path?

Desperate windsurfers will hump anything. In fact, I'm considering making the hump tomorrow.

Tj's is now showing more wind for Boundary Bay. I need to stay in town now so I hope that's the case.

You might score at bbay tomorrow but I wouldn't put too much faith in that TJ's as there's nothing else supporting that forecast. If you look at the overview loop vs. the zoomed loop you'll see that they don't agree and I have much more faith in the zoomed forecast than the overview based on past performance.
