15 knots in Boundary Bay. Tide just started coming in, might be good for a kite session this afternoon Alton?

Added another Pic. Zoomed in a bit and you can see the white caps out there now.
Whoever put up this Cam thank you. :D

Look at the way the waves wrap around that sand bank! Nice we just need another 10 knots and we could get some DTL runs out there.
I'm dreaming I know, too much work and not enough play.

Very tempting but there are no supporting forecasts to convince me to take the 1 hour drive. Squamish is my other option but it's looking gusty.

The SE wind seems to be dropping off gradually and veering SW here at BB. Been watching it for an hour or so

Took my handheld out onto the beach and its reading 15-17mph out of the South. Kiteworthy?

It's windsurf-worthy for a 7.0 or bigger.

It's electric-car-worthy for wasting gas.
