Stillwater weather

I know how to look up weather predictions on the internet but I don't know how to interpret them. I don't know how much swell is too much or how much wind is too much. I'm going out Thursday but I'm not sure where to go. Is Stillwater going to have safe weather for the 1st? Should we just go to the bay for butts? I keep reading about wind issues for Stillwater on the 1st.

   

Hi Amphibian

I had the same question and this is what I was told by KEN KICKFISH.

Thanks Ken,

Hope this help you

See you in the water!  Tomorrow.

If your talking about ocean.....then it depends on the location.  Does the wind work in your favor?  Is your location protected in a North wind or South wind?  With a North wind I know that Half Moon Bay will be protected.  Bean Hollow is open so you would look at the swells and surf conditions.  Linda Mar is protected in a South wind.

8 to 10 footers and it will be not a Nice ride.  I keep my VHS radio on when I am leaving home and when I get to my spot.   Also, you have to use your judgement on how it is at your spot.  The VHS will give you general info.  But, if you get out there and see it not to your liking...then I would head on in.  There are more other days to fish.

Some times it does get better...but, most times it gets worst.  5 or 6 footers is a good day...2 or 3 is perfect.

Go get the Rockcod, Cabbies and Ling.   Probably, going to closed in June or July.   At least from HMB to Mendo.
