SWIFTSURE WEATHER
The Strait of Juan de Fuca lies between Cape Flattery and the North coast of Washington State, and the Southern portion of Vancouver Island. It is about 12 miles wide and 50 miles long. The weather in the Strait dictates the conditions for Swiftsure. Wind usually blows into the Strait from the Pacific Ocean, or out to it. Weather Canada always tries to predict (guess) what will be happening on race day, and is sometimes right.
In past years the Race Committee has had a local weather personality give a briefing at the Skipper’s meeting on Friday evening before the race. This has been met with varying degrees of accuracy and we hope to improve on it this year perhaps with intra race updates.
We know from the tables what the tides will be doing during the race, and it would be nice to know the weather with the same degree of accuracy, so we hope to keep the fleet updated as accurately as possible.
The Swiftsure website will be continuously updated before and during the race and anyone with a laptop or a smart phone will be able to get regional updates at any time. This technology has been used in many regattas worldwide in the past few years and our hope is that Swiftsure will be on the leading edge of weather information in 2010
