A friend said they saw a bunch of windsurfers sail at Cadboro Bay the last south easter when it was almost dead onshore and high tide. Where does one launch at Cadboro Bay? Regardless where are Victoria windsurfers going to sail tomorrow? Thanks! Rhonda

I'm not sure about Caddy Bay, but people might be out at Willows Beach today. Just be aware of the many dangers: high tide with logs, high wind and cold water, dog poo, etc

Also, there was a poor water quality from 2 days ago in Cadboro Bay: https://bigwavedave.ca/water-quality.html?site=475#data

Other than all that it should be good

Thanks! It looks like a day to pass regardless... it is pretty onshore. When things eventually get better at Cadboro Bay, where do people launch?

Also people launch at Cattle Point. What wind direction do people go out on those two boat launches? Cheers.

I have launched from the main beach in Caddy Bay many years ago. As for the Cattle Point boat launches, I prefer the 1st launch (facing South) on a SouthWesterly as it's flat water and sheltered and worst case you can swim into the 2nd boat launch around the corner. I like the 2nd boat launch (facing East) on North/North Easterlies (usually fall/winter/spring) high pressure weather events which are usually coolish in temperatures. Again these are some of my favourite flatwater sessions, sometimes a bit gusty but usually pretty darn good and worst case scenario is you swim around the corner to the 1st boat launch. Even better there are usually many boaters out off Cattle Point (known as CP sometimes) in the very worst case scenario. Do remember the tide goes through this area pretty quick if you get out a ways, if you're not planing or foiling it'll take you where it wants.
