BTW Bate Island is still closed to cars,  thus the need to park at Remic and paddle out

Bates Island tonight (Thurs)

I plan to surf at Bates tonight. Aiming to be at the Remic Rapids parking lot at about 6, putting on about 6:15.

I went last night. It was about a 10-15 min paddle from Remic to get out there but, on the plus side, if you come on the parkway from the west, you don't need to wait for 15 min in the rush hour traffic line-up to get on the bridge. Also, there were relatively few paddlers (still enough for safety) so there was little to no line up in the eddy.

Level was very good last night at about 59.4 but has been dropping steadily at about 10 cm per day so I expect about 59.3 tonight
