Pilar,

That report is a week old and starts on May 29. The new report is actually a little better, but by not much. They are predicting for Thursday and Friday 25 knot wind with a 5' wind wave and a 6 foot swell. Does not look like a lot of fun. Hopefully they are overpredicting and it will be doable.

We should all be out there today, as its a 3.9 swell at 9.1 seconds and howling at 6 knots.

Maybe I will have to run to the Columbia for some sturgeon or to Bonneville for oversize.

As usual we have an ambiguous forecast at best. I just got off the phone with 'Puffin' who says "I'm Going!". I guess he just called the Coast Guard in Yaquina bay and they said it looks nice now 2 to 4 ft at the bouy line.

If you look at the bouys below the wind is 15 to 20 at stonewall and the waves about 4 and 5. The forecast today includes a small craft advisory. The predicted waves are somewhat bigger than the actual but it is early in the day.

What to do?

Bouy map here ...

http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/Maps/Northwest.shtml

Bouy 46050 is at Stonewall Bank to the north a bit

http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_pag...$station=46050

Station NWP03 is near the jetties and clearly shows the afternoon wind show.
