Beware the wacky forecasts... and be ready when they actually materialize!

Two days ago this Friday was looking sweet, but now it's calling for 10' swell.  Watch out for how haywire the forecasts are right now.  I'll bet there will be some little windows of decent looking water, but it looks like conditions are likely to change quickly and possibly become pretty gnarly.

Refer to these pages and cross-reference them for a pretty reliable view of what's coming:

This time of year the windows of good water tend to be fleeting...

Good luck.  

Thanks for the warning the weather is really becoming unpredictable.. However the LEGUME is looking good Friday - Sunday

I've found this site to be better than average:

Thanks Abking and Littoral those site really help.  I usually just charge it and have have paid the price in the past.

i agree that right now its like hitting a moving target.  that's why i'm bringing my bass gear in case i need to hit CL instead.

I think we got a fair chance for ocean yak fishing between Thursday & Friday  

Great advice for this time of year, we're all trying to get that last trip in. 

From flat to 10' swells and back to pretty flat - tomorrow is looking like a good day to go to the beach.  I hope I can make it out, and I hope you can too!
