My faith in the forecasts has diminished lately but this looks fun! Let see if it delivers.

I saw that too. I'm suspecting it's fake news (but would be happy if I'm wrong).

Other models point to MAYBE something first thing morning.

Looks like NOAA is now showing a big day as well.

I can’t get the BB web cam. Is it just me? Ferry terminal wind looks good but it’s very south so dunno. Andrew? :-) No webcam to see if it’s raining down there. It is on the North Shore.

It's not just you, it's been down for a few days.

Not too hopeful for quality wind today. Forecasts calling for shifty up and down winds in the mid teens. Tomorrow looks more promising. I have noticed that when weather systems approach our area from the S/SW forecast models are not that accurate. Much better when the systems come from the NW. I'm going to chase the wind tomorrow but not certain which launch just yet. You never know it could be rideable some time today but you will probably have to be at the beach waiting for it to catch it. (that's my disclaimer just in case it does get good today ;) )

It’s blowing S/E 20-25 at the ferry terminal but none of the web cams in the area are working. White Rock cam doesn’t seem to exist. Anyone in that area? Is it raining down there? Yes, I’m a weather wimp. I don’t have anywhere to dry my shit off so it’s a problem. Any thoughts/insight from anyone would be awesome. :D
