So, sounds like it might be a day for Standup Paddle Surfing tomorrow from the south zone forecast. With the north zone, there may be useable nice wind by tomorrow afternoon. Have to wait and see what wx is delivered. Beyond these forecasts, useable wind will come unexpectedly at times. Also, it may be wet at times, perhaps in the morning, then again, they've predicted near 80 % rain chance at times in the past with no wet stuff falling, have to see what comes. Neil has been working up all sorts of ingenious Standup events, what this about pungie standup with the last rider still up winning the day?

Honking wind all night and into the day on Saturday, 20 to 25 N or near sideshore should boost up the waves and provide some nice wind for the heats. It is good it is supposed to start before dawn, saves waiting. The high is supposed to be 62 on Saturday btw with sunny wx. It is supposed to ease at some point during the day, lets hope late. It is supposed to be 10 to 15 kt. on Sunday but the event has been run in this sort of wind before. So be of good cheer, also should have waves remaining from Saturday still coming through.

All in all, the forecast is for a fun weekend, fingers crossed and enjoy!
