i think like today tomarrow bar will be restricted. good luck if u make it out.

Good site to bookmark to check for bar restrictions: https://www.wrh.noaa.gov/pqr/marine/BarObs.php

Depoe was closed to all rec boats until this afternoon.  And even then, it only opened for 34+ footers.  I keep checking the forecasts and buoys, but the best I can find is 5 feet @ 8 seconds.  Combine that with the waves bouncing off the cliffs, and it sounds like a rodeo to me.  I expect the bar to be restricted tomorrow with the minus tide.

That being said, Fogarty Creek launches best during low tides.  The shallow reefs will block the NW swells.  I *might* head up there tomorrow morning, depending on what the buoys are reading.  And even then, I'll be giving Fogarty a long hard look before deciding to commit.  But the minus tide would line up really well for an early launch and landing at noon.  I'd just be salmon fishing.

Woke up at 0400, saw the buoy was reading 6 feet @ 8 seconds.  Went back to bed.  Bar restrictions to <20 foot vessels this morning.
