Kinda off the subject but what app or site are you using for your forecast?

The Windfinder Half Moon Bay Buoy readings are not looking as calm. 7' swells and the wind jump from 10mph at 10am to 14 mph by 1pm. I have used WindFinder almost exclusively over the years and have  found it be pretty accurate.
A 14 mph wind at HMB with 7' swells can be a real bummer at HMB
If you haven't fished or crabbed at HMB a 7' swell can be a real bummer if you drop your traps in the 30' depth range and will be dealing with breakers while dropping and retrieving your traps. if you go further out to deeper water the a 14mph wind with 7' swells can be dangerous.
You might want to check other apps and see what you come up with, maybe it may be somewhere in between.
Good luck,
Da Bruddah

Please include the date in your heading.   It makes it easier to know if it's current.
     Windfinder Pro says the forecast looks good for Wednesday 11/30.  4.4ft at 14 seconds at 10am.   Wind at 3 mph.  You get a more detailed report (super forecast) 3 days in advance.

Apps I'm useing are SailFlow and Windfinder both say wensday is good the next best day is Saturday but wensdays the best

Ok I see the problem what is the best location to use for checking the area the difference is huge it's the same looking at Santa Cruz and then looking at steamers lane same area way different results

If conditions either improve or stay moderately the same you should see me out on a T13 with a tall orange flag on the back by sunrise. Will be on channel 69.

I'll be launching from the old pier at the same time.  Windfinder shows good conditions for Sat.  We won't be alone out there.  I hope we all catch limits!

I'll be in a yellow Malibu 2xl with a couple promar collapsibles stacked behind my seat.
