I was at Nitinaht from Tuesday night last week to Sunday afternoon. Apparently Tuesday was good, but I arrived after dark.

Wednesday and Thursday were 100% cloudy with showers, even rain sometimes, but, we kited both days in light wind, 8 to 12 knots on Wed. and about 12 to 16 on Thursday. Perfect ...

Thanks for the info. Sounds like we should at least get wind on a few days. I'm off to pack the camper, and will put in my foil board and 19 meter. That should ensure heavy wind :D

Thanks nanmoo. 10 or 12 knots would be just perfect for some of us. 5 of us have foil boards and light wind is good for practice.

A few of us were planning to go to Nitinaht this week, starting Tuesday the 12th. Clouds are in the forecast and I'm wondering what this means for wind.

The forecast is for a temperature gradient from around 17 to 19 in Tofino and 24 or 25 in Port Alberni for the rest of the week.

Is this enough ...

Nitinat road Conditions - Lake Cowichan or Port Alberni

Heading to Nitinat on Monday. I'll be coming into Duke Point so could go via Lake Cowichan or Port Alberni. Anyone have a recent update as to which road is in better shape?

A bunch of us racing sorts from Vancouver are really glad you are putting this event together again. We've been looking forward to it and booking the time off.
