Good point. After 1pm tide drops below 2m which should be shallow enough for beginner's - correct?

If Richi's friend is proficient at body dragging and self-rescue, he/she can drift back to the residential shore to the north.

The wind also drops around that time.

Would this "friend" be someone named Richi turning to the dark side?

I was guessing he could launch at Acadia and drift to the dog park. Doesn't sound like either is ideal for beginners tomorrow, I will let him make the call, thanks for the input.

Its not me Tony, I'm guessing you'll be wearing shorts before I do.

I already joined the dark side last August at Squamish. Was fun. I'll do it again soon.

Actually it's uncertain when the westerly will arrive. WindGuru is suggesting Wed afternoon. METAR/TAF is suggesting after Wed 11am.

I am in a trial this week but will be at the dog beach at 430. Hopefully there are some waves!
