Saw it this morning, wouldn't leave the marina to fish in a small boat. Water is super dirty and a fair swell even inside the reef

Not worth it
BOM meteye shows 2-3m swells and 15-20Kn SW winds at the moment so as above I reckon it will be shit out there weekend not looking great either so far

You can see the ocean yourself online!
If you see any kind if white water on this pic from Swanbourne then it's not a good idea

Conditions
The picture that Zoom put up is such an understatement of conditions today. Was driving along West Coast hwy today and water was not ideal for boating. Big white caps everywhere. Alot of seals though, I mean surfers...
A fish in the hand is worth 10 in the water!

I was going to head out tomorrow but the swells still up a bit, so Friday has been pencilled in.

Little tip ...
hey Trav.. little tip bud !! If you ain't sure and
your jumping on here asking whether it's safe
enough too head out ! Probably best sitting it
out !! My boats is just bit smaller than your at
4m so I have a fair idea ! Fishin can turn into
swiming quite quick mate ! And yeah I was
down mindaire lunch time yesterday! I
wouldn't have gone for a surf let alone
out in the boat !! Feral as it was !
