Clear skies on all the web cams and an 8 degree gradient forecasted with the exception of Squamish being slightly warmer than Whist/Pem. Moderate outflows this morning for Howe Sound as high pressure pushes towards the low.

Calling for a moderate Westerly for the Georgia Straight which could have adverse effects on the Inflow for the Squamish Spit. If your in the City I would wait for the switch before driving up!
Although with the extreme low tides and a strong river current riding in lighter winds will be possible. Huge sandbars will make Squamish an excellent location for beginners learning to kiteboard. For the Spit expect 15 knots

West winds increasing all day for the city. Watch out for lifeguards! For the GVRD expect 15-20 knots
