Reader Darrion Kerr sent in a splashy set of photos of a Saturday morning windstorm that brought on a rare opportunity for surfers to catch some waves in West Vancouver.
A few hearty souls in wetsuits were spotted in the surf near Dundarave Beach Jan. 11 as temperatures hovered around 5 C and winds gusting up to 70 kilometres per hour hit the Lower Mainland, with some areas registering gusts as high as 90 km/h. The winds were so fierce that the District of West Vancouver was forced to close the waterfront Seawalk after waves kicked up by the winds created “unsafe conditions.”
High winds and waves are creating unsafe conditions on West Vancouver's waterfront. The Seawalk has been closed as a result. Please avoid the area. #bcstorm #westvan pic.twitter.com/3JIRJpsqUc
