Ross Bay: EbertsApr 13315 Enterococcus
Surface ridging will remain over the waters into Friday. A weak front and associated trough will slip southward along the British Columbia and into the area Friday night into Saturday. This will initiate an increase in onshore flow with likely headlines and possible gales in the central/east strait. A secondary system will produce a similar result later Sunday into early Monday. High pressure will then rebuild across the waters early next week. Seas mostly 5 to 7 ft although right along the coast and in the west Strait lower wave heights can be expected. These conditions will persist into Friday before building back above 10 feet early in the weekend. 27/18 (Issued: 211 AM PDT Thu Apr 17 2025 by NOAA)

    Bellenas Island Weather seems to be reporting on the WeatherNetwork.  Perhaps the station has been fixed.  www.theweathernetwork.com/en/marine/ca/b...d-lighthouse/current

      Hmm well Ballenas isn’t on the latest or the “not reporting” stations list anymore from what I can tell.  The tides table is also not displaying fully since yesterday:(

      I don't know where TWN are getting their data. From the EC land station page Ballenas is not listed and the direct link to the site shows N/A which normally means the site is not updating. Also Kus confirmed below that "the estimated time to get station back online is by end of April."

      Looks to me like the 'current' condition on TWN may be an interpolated model number. I still get a 'station not available' from the current conditions for Ballenas from Environment Canada Marine Weather Georgia Strait north of Nanaimo.

      I see and agree More Force & BWD & Kus.  No data at present.    Ballenas Airport code is CWGB  and USNWS says last reported  Dec 31 2024    Data is likely interpreted from Sisters Isl.

      (I gather its the same for the English Bay Bouy at the far West end of English Bay.)   No Data at present

    How long have the little popups with stats and links been on here?  Day count since your last session, or a link to your windiest session ever (apparently Dec 23, 2010 for me, interesting read), most used bit of kit and other random things!  Its a fun addition!

    “Downwinding”??

    • winddoctor 2 weeks ago.
      Downwinding as in either SUP paddling up onto foil, and going DW or using a Parawing to get up onto foil and going DW with chute packed away then redeploying and doing laps back UW. This is all focused around chasing bumps going DW, not mowing the lawn/freeriding.

    “Thank you for sending your message to Environment and Climate Change Canada.

    As per the latest update, the technician responsible for the Ballenas station is on leave. Trying to work on a solution to charge the station if coast guard unable to do so. The estimated time to get station back online is by end of April.

    The Ballenas weather station has been defunct for almost four months and is key for nautical safety in our strait.  Can someone please repair?  I was told by DFO it belongs to coastguard. Coastguard tells me it's Environments.
