It’s blowing 20 mph at my house right now in point grey. Last night we had gusts to 50. Worst Ive seen it in the 14 years I’ve lived here.

what's this 5km model? Can't find it. Windy and windfinder have completely different forecasts for the next few days. Windy is showing >15 knot winds wheareas windfinder is showing half that value for the same date/time/location. Why is there such a huge difference?

In the Windy App go to the three horizontal bars on the bottom right to access the menu. Scroll down in the menu and you will see three different weather models. The models will vary depending on where you are in the world. In our neck of the woods Windy seems to default to the 9km model but there is a 5km NAM model. The 5km model is higher resolution and will have more granular forecast. I personally have found the 5km model has saved my bacon many times by showing weather windows and corridors; handy when planning winter/spring fishing and runs over to Thrasher. The 5km NAM model doesn’t go all the way up the coast but is useful around our parts.

I’m in south Burnaby by the river and it’s ripping. Guess the 4pm window at the Cap won’t be materializing today.

Monday looks ok, that's the only day for me anyway. Rip to sh for the morning and catch the cap flood in the afternoon see how it goes.

Just walked the pooch at the beach....English Bay is like you could “**** on a plate”. Did I use that one right?

 

[Jacob Burton]

Hows the fishing around T10 and the bell? Thrasher rock or Howe sound? Looking to get out soon.

The only question I have is "Why would you ?"

You’d have to ask @ab1752 from post #2254.

Just got back from a walk down to the boat on the Jericho side and it looks someone has since pissed on the plate ... there is now a ripple all across the harbour. P.S. or ****, definitely should have gone out this morning.
