Default Re: Wind down, seas up...what gives?

The direction of the wind also has a lot to do with it too.... Anything from the east, SE,NE or dead E will build the seas. West is best and even blowing at 20 knots it could still be fishable if you are tight into the beach.

NOAA forecasts for now are not that reliable since a lot of their data buoys that track wind speed, wave height and frequecy are down. Some are supposed to come back on line the end of this month and that should help... In the mean time they tend to err on the side of caution and the forecast are sometimes far worse then the actual conditions you will encouter.
