Newport this weekend!

[Bendman]

I was thinking of going out of Newport this weekend for a little bottom fishing. Can someone tell me what the “prediction “for weather/ swells is going to be. Also by chance was there any of you guys out last Thursday? If so what would you say the swells were that day? Thanks much for your help!

Looks like it may be kind of nasty. A little early in the week to predict with any kind of accuracy though. I'd check it again thursday or friday.

SAT...NW WIND 20 KT... WIND WAVES 4 FT... W SWELL 7 FT
