Nitinat wind S-S-M-T

Post by Larry Pinta »

Hi

A few of us are trying to fly in from Alberta to take some lessons and enjoy the west coast for a few days. We were supposed to arrive today but postponed until Saturday. Is there worthwhile wind for S-M-T or a high probability of getting skunked.

Any advice would be appreciated!

Thanks in advance

Saturday onwards is looking ok at this point! Depends if it moves towards drier or cloudier. Victoria shows sun while Tofino shows rain. Tough call.
Don't forget to bring a towel!

I'm agreeing with nanmoo on being a tough call at this moment. Saturday looks ok, but likely weak as it will need to dry out/warm up after 2-3 days of rain. Not as optimistic about Sun/Mon., with possible outflow Sun. There's a low and associated precip hanging around the area for those days finally clearing out by Tues.

Thanks for the info, after chatting with our instructors were going to push back to next week in the hopes of some better wind. Thanks for all the great advice.
