A trough went through the waters earlier this morning with a frontal system. The flow will become more onshore with west to northwest winds post-front. There is a strong push going through the central and east sections of the Strait of Juan de Fuca, with gusts up to 27 kt observed at nearby Port Angeles. The small craft advisory continues in these areas through Wednesday morning. Weather will clear out as a ridge builds off the coast Wednesday into Friday, with a trough passing through next weekend. The threat for any hazardous winds is low at this time with this trough. Seas currently are 6 to 7 feet at 9 with periods at 9 seconds - will drop to 4 to 5 feet Wednesday and Thursday, and increase to 6 to 8 feet next weekend with the trough moving through, decreasing back to 5 to 6 feet next week Monday.

    Bellenas Island Weather seems to be reporting on the WeatherNetwork.  Perhaps the station has been fixed.  www.theweathernetwork.com/en/marine/ca/b...d-lighthouse/current

      Hmm well Ballenas isn’t on the latest or the “not reporting” stations list anymore from what I can tell.  The tides table is also not displaying fully since yesterday:(

      I don't know where TWN are getting their data. From the EC land station page Ballenas is not listed and the direct link to the site shows N/A which normally means the site is not updating. Also Kus confirmed below that "the estimated time to get station back online is by end of April."

      Looks to me like the 'current' condition on TWN may be an interpolated model number. I still get a 'station not available' from the current conditions for Ballenas from Environment Canada Marine Weather Georgia Strait north of Nanaimo.

      I see and agree More Force & BWD & Kus.  No data at present.    Ballenas Airport code is CWGB  and USNWS says last reported  Dec 31 2024    Data is likely interpreted from Sisters Isl.

      (I gather its the same for the English Bay Bouy at the far West end of English Bay.)   No Data at present

    How long have the little popups with stats and links been on here?  Day count since your last session, or a link to your windiest session ever (apparently Dec 23, 2010 for me, interesting read), most used bit of kit and other random things!  Its a fun addition!

    “Downwinding”??

    • winddoctor 4 weeks ago.
      Downwinding as in either SUP paddling up onto foil, and going DW or using a Parawing to get up onto foil and going DW with chute packed away then redeploying and doing laps back UW. This is all focused around chasing bumps going DW, not mowing the lawn/freeriding.

    “Thank you for sending your message to Environment and Climate Change Canada.

    As per the latest update, the technician responsible for the Ballenas station is on leave. Trying to work on a solution to charge the station if coast guard unable to do so. The estimated time to get station back online is by end of April.

    ********
    The Ballenas weather station has been defunct for almost four months and is key for nautical safety in our strait.  Can someone please repair?  I was told by DFO it belongs to coastguard. Coastguard tells me it's Environments.
