Newport Ocean Report

[wak'm&stak'm]

What a change....Oh I wish this day was Friday, because overnight the ocean laid down, right now there is 0 wind on the beach and NO leftover northwest lump.
There is no doubt I could run wide open, I hope it stays down.

So Pilar whats your plan now..??????Hmmmm????

Nice to get a live report, not what I would expect to see if I was standing there from the forecast. Be safe out there and fill the fish box up.

Hey Wak, I'm loading up and heading for fish camp in Gleneden Beach. Should be at D-47 in South Beach tonight after bucket-o-bait is obtained. We will give it a hard look in the morning at 0530 and decide then.

Lay down, you beeeeaaatch! :grin:

Hello fellow halibut slayers,

Just was out on the Barview jetty -- the ocean is flat, flat, flat....no problems on the bar either right now -- even with the ebb.

Let's all hope we get a better ocean than is forecasted for tomorrow.

I Just got back from digging more razors....you can row across the Yaquina Bay bar right now.....

I just hope this little front does what it is supposed to do.
