Hey,

I'd like to get some board time on Saturday and was wondering if anyone knows how to predict Island View Beach?

thanks,
Matt

Use Victoria Airport and Kelp Reef wind readings. Both should be above 12knots. In the Marine forcast, look for 15-25 knots S/SE in Haro Strait.

Hoppe that helps

The forcast is SE tomorrow with Westerlies on Saturday. NEVER, EVER go out at IV on a Westerly. Your kite will fall from the sky and you will probably have to ditch it in order to swim back to shore.
