Howdy hedgehog. I was ready to try FC this morning also but stayed in because of winds. I find the Webcams on Big Wave Dave's helpful, both the Columbia beach and San Pareil cameras. I also found a free program on the net called Wind Predict which is pretty good most times and fairly accurate. A little more accurate showing wind gusts.Yup, now they're 12 and 14, such is fishing. In a few minutes it can go from great to holy crap. Good day to fly a kite.
Yes, a camera and weather station to log into at FC would a great idea. They have cameras all over the place down there. Worthwhile talking to them about I think. Going to try fishing the high tide tomorrow morning if weather cooperates.Thanks for the tip. I do use wind predict on occasion and have found most web cams do not always have high enough resolution to be effective but does give you an idea. Sometimes the reflection off the water makes it tough to see. There's a nice pole with power out on the berm at French Creek marina. That would be a great spot for a camera or maybe even a weather station as Sister's and Ballenas do not always reflect what's happening out front.
