Limekiln Saturday 6-17?

This is mostly a request for advise.  I've got a lot to learn about interpreting conditions, forecasts and what they really mean.  The forecast for Saturday looks real nasty from the NW but I'm wondering how that will translate for the south facing coast below Point Lopez.  Generally, this weekend sounds like a blowout for the ocean.

Thanks,
Pete

Yeah Coastside called off there derby in HMB that was supposed to happen this weekend. If they guys in the 20 footers don't want to go out I think it is going to be pretty bad. Of course this is the first weekend I have not been sick in like a month 

big sur is pretty exposed, that point is not super protective.

I bet you could get out in capitola, but I don't know what you'd catch.

Bill, wait till you have two kids in school bringing home disease of the week! 

Can I have your stuff yet? 

Yep, Capitola may have to do.  At least it is fishing even if it's not catching.  Thanks for the advice guys.  John, I've read you posts closely and I'm thinking your handle should be professor.  You were predicting a south swell  for Memorial weekend days before I read anything about it.  You da man...

John is a PHD but he still kinda knows how to work in the real world 

Seriously he is one with the ocean when it comes to wind and swell.

Pete,

My trip to San Diego this weeekend looks like it will be cancelled because of my daughters flue that started yesterday.  Depending on conditions I would be interested.  I may try to go out on Friday as I have already scheduled that day off.

I'm sure you could get out if you really wanted to, heck these boats don't sink, but it doesn't look good with a south swell
and nw windswell, and there is no real 'protected' part of big sur as far as I know all though you might get a little shelter.

Bill, I have a good feeling for the wind and waves right at the coast given that morning's bouy reports, but that's about as far
as my weather expertise goes. btw, take pity on me, I'm the oldest child of working class immigrants.
I know I look like just another redneck suburban white punk (like yourself,  ) but I didn't know any better back then.
I had it before I know what I was doing.

As a "barely made it through 2 semesters as an art major" college burnout I am just jealous! 

Expect a lot of NW wind swell. It looks like it has been blowing about 35 MPH out of the NW all day today down that way (Cape San Martin Buoy) and it is supposed to keep blowing at around that speed all weekend.

Cape San Martin Buoy - http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=46028

It is pretty far offshore but it is about the only station along that part of the coast.

Bill, we blew it, we should have been in mergers and acquisitions like the other white suburban punks.

But getting back to important things like forecasting wind for fishing purposes:

I do know that the whereever it is that is just in front of the marine layer: windy. sometimes light and it
doesn't matter, but more often, just enough to be annoying.

(Does the wind come in over the marine layer and then drop down or does
it get created there? don't know the answer to that one.

So if it's foggy at the coast: windy as heck on the forebay.

sunny at the coast? forebay can be okay.

This is confirmed by my buiness partner, who spent years windsurfing all over the bay area,
including the forebay, wadell, natural bridges (where he sailed over the GWS), coyote, etc.

Now if it's blowing like heck on the coast, it sure as heck ain't foggy there.

So how windy will it be here in the valley given that it's blowing like hell on the coast and clear?

Will there be whitecaps on lexington?

well this weekend we can figure that one out a bit.
