Didn’t the link for the surface weather used to start with the wind at the ferry terminal? Not there now. Just starts with White Rock. Also, the Blow Meteorological site isn’t working either. I want to go winging at the terminal as it’s nw 10-15 forecast today but can’t find any information to confirm if it’s happening or not. Any suggestions (Alton?)

Environment Canada took down the data feed for CVTF (Ferry Terminal)

... so we're "Shit Out Of Luck"

... also that's why "BlowMe" doesn't work

Maybe Environment Canada will bring it back online one day

It's been down for a while, hopefully it's back up soon.

I use the iwindsurf sensor, plus Sandheads and CZBB. If iwindsurf or CZBB are showing 15 knots it's usually good at the Terminal.
