    Can you scrape the Trial Island info from the EC Lighthouse reports page to populate this latest reports page ?

      That’s where I originally got the data from before the school network station came online. Fairly sure it’s only every 3hrs unless something changed. So not too useful.

    No Nitinat station. Web cam in mid June. Take Env. Cda. temp between Port Alb. & Tofino. If sunny ish, 5 degree diff. means marginal, 6-8 means good, 8-10 blowing hard, >10 nuke. Lake driven by thermals when PA is hot.

      Once Elevation Kiteboarding gets their school & webcam up and running (late May?) it should be available here on the site.

        Is Trial gone forever? Pretty much the most useful reading.

    I see a 'new' listing for 'Yarrow Pt' on the Wind/Latest Reports page. The only Yarrow Point that I can find is in Lake Washinton.?

      Good eye. Check the wind map, it's an Ocean Networks platform in Saanich Inlet, just outside of Coles Bay. Maybe a good indicator for PatBay: https://data.oceannetworks.ca/DataSearch?location=YPVPF&deviceCategory=METSTN

      It doesn't get much better than side-off at Yarrow Point!

      Bobson, the ferry that take you on kelp reef island (fall/winter/spring spot) complete its circuit drop off/pick up to Yarrow Pt island, they are both good wind spots when windy. Make sure you call BC Ferry before heading there as they are not always running. 1-888-BC FERRY    (1-888-223-3779).
