The BB forecast looks awesome but guessing the wind is totally wrong for Centennial beach. Where would be rideable given the nw wind.

If you are looking for calm waters go to the Tsawwassen Ferry Terminal on a NW. It's like glass along the causeway.

And dawn patrol is not so early now folks!

Sadly, for me, I do not think I can make it as I used up my wind tokens Monday and Tuesday.

low tide at 6am,not super low. high at 2pm.
im with alton for 7/8 am with surfboard . easier launch on sandy beach and clean waves.
looking at gspot again after 10pm tonight.

ferry terminal will be very nice for landing big jumps.


i have to say im very excited for some clean peelers....... im packing a big lunch and two thermos of hot water!

So where are you riding tomorrow Ben, Ferry terminal or Spanish Banks? While I realize they are only forecasts at the moment, it would suggest that it will be pretty great clean wind at both for most of the day. Why are you so hell bent on the dp bs? Just curious. :D

Drummermom for flat water Terminal is the spot to hit. Longer drive but way less chop. Acadia/Jericho is an awesome spot for the scenery but better suited for wave seekers. My best twin tip sessions have been at low tide there. I'm hoping to hit Terminal mid morning.
