"Haro Strait.
Gale warning in effect.
Wind southwest 15 to 20 knots backing to southeast 15 to 20 late
overnight then increasing to 20 to 25 Sunday morning. Wind
increasing to southeast 25 to 35 Sunday evening. Showers. Risk of
thunderstorms this evening."
This is a case where the model disagrees with the EC forecast for Sunday. Check the webcam for Island View on Sunday and Monday for kiters.

NOAA: BUT THE NEXT 24HRS WILL MARK A RELATIVE LULL IN THE
WEATHER. THE LATEST UW MM5NAM BRINGS SSE GALES BACK TO THE COASTAL
WATERS SUNDAY EVENING...AND TO THE NORTHERN INLAND WATERS AND EAST
PART OF THE STRAIT BY 5AM MON. THAT MIGHT BE A TAD SLOWER THAN THE
FCST BUT A LOT DEPENDS ON WHETHER THERE IS ONE FRONTAL WAVE AND LOW
PRES SYS OR TWO...THE MODELS HAVE BEEN LEANING TOWARD TWO WITH THE
FIRST INTO THE CHARLOTTES LATE SUN AFTERNOON AS A SECOND LOW FORMS
ON THE FRONT JUST OUTSIDE OF 130W SUNDAY EVENING. THIS SECOND LOW IS
THE ONE THAT REALLY TIGHTENS UP THE GRADIENT AND WILL DEVELOP THE
GALES SUNDAY NIGHT/MON MORNING. THE NAM DEEPENS IT TO 992MB (image)
AT TAKES IT INTO NRN VRISL JUST BEFORE DAYBREAK MON...THE GFS IS NOT
AS DEEP BUT STILL GIVES A SOLID SSE GALE TO THE COASTAL WATERS DVLPG
SUN EVENING AND TO THE NORTHERN WATERS FROM MIDNIGHT THRU DAYBREAK
MON (image). 19

Use Dave's wind prediction 'grid': http://www.bigwavedave.ca/forecasts.php?page=1 to figure out where the kiters have headed ... Jordan R. would be a great choice today ... I.V. Mon. - Wed. has some potential & C.B. (see wiki) always full of photo ops. during S.E. events. 
Thermals are good.
