Hey guys, my girlfriend and I are scheduled to do a fishing trip Monday out of Port A. We were heading about 7 miles out to fish around some rigs. I've read the weather is nasty this weekend but swell is suppose to be 3ft Monday. Other than bundling and putting on the frog toggs, any thoughts? I was told by a party boat fishing place that the seas will be 10 feet Monday. Is there any truth to that?

Calling for 8-10 ft

Is this a good source for predicting ocean waves?

Is there a difference?

Sounds like you two might be sipping Pina Coladas watching the waves come in more than doing any fishing, specially from a boat! 10 footers... Whew!!

Monday's going to be bad there, you might want to try to find a bay guide instead

Tuesday morning might be better for offshore or watch Wednesday

Jeremy, something to keep in mind when you see these weather forecasts - they're almost always wrong. Take the one above; what it really means is that there's gonna be 8 foot waves with 10 foot waves stacked on top of them.

Don't go ...
