  Hope it'll lay down ......cause this doesn't look real friendly.

I'm not expecting any miracles. This is lame...

If the winds are looking like they are currently predicted by MSW (probably about a 10% chance of that forecast holding this far out) I'll be cancelling one or both pre-fishing days, and save a little more vacation time.  Sure hope it isn't that bad next week.

Even though it is way too early to predict either way, it looks like the swell is on a downward trend from thursday on. Even though the wind is forecast to be high, there is usually a few hour window(very early) to get out before it blows hard. make sure you crack of dawn it... Get out, hang a big fish, get in, start drinking..

and if your concerned, stay as close in as you can to make a dash for the slot if it does start to blow.

Now for pre-fishing, It looks like it might pu a damper on that...

  I agree with you Roy---get out while the window is open, catch a huge fish, then get in and sweat it out that no one tops your giant. All while enjoying a cold libation. Let's hope that plan comes to fruit.

MSW as of today looking good!! Almost anything would be better than the fog last year!

I know it's still early but pre fishing Friday looks to be a go...I penciled in for Friday off on the work calendar, I think I'll go ahead and trace over it in permanent ink! I'll be arriving Thursday evening for sure!

I thought about cutting it a day short... But as long as its not raining, should be fun either way

  It is the Oregon Coast-rain/heavy dew/fog is always possible.
  A short cut won't help..........

Got both of my fingers and toes crossed 

The weather will be fine.  There is a closed low that may set in on the 12-13th and our local tunaheads are talking about making a trip to Charleston.  Basically it looks like flatwater with maybe some wind in the afternoon.

here are the current Stormsurf forecast at 6:00am Saturday for the surf(pic 1) and the wind(pic 2)
