Tuesday swell
Submitted by Sea goat on Sun, 2024-12-15 07:53
Hey guys. Hoping to get out Tuesday for a fish. Bit of swell so trying to decide whether to stay in close or if likely to be ok out a bit deep (40s). Looks like about 2m forecast. Normally I try stick to below 1.5. If the wind does what it's supposed to do reckon might be ok, don't mind if just rolling etc decent swell period so thinking hopefully just a bit of bobbing up and down?? Anyone have any opinions on whether seems like a good idea? Fairly capable boat, 23ft fibreglass. Just hoping to save some time and avoid going halfway then changing plans if possible. Hoping someone could give an indication on what these conditions would equate to out deep.
any thoughts greatly appreciated!
cheers!

I thought it was predicted to be over 3
And with strong easterly........I have a 6.8 and have decided not to go out until Wednesday when both swell and wind way less

Same Gordon, Wednesday
Same Gordon, Wednesday looking doable now. Fishranger forecast both GFS and BOM in agreeance.
Early start though which is good.
Love the West!

Not good .
If you've looked at the weather and your
asking on here ? probably not a good
idea . it's about confidence in your boat
And ability to do it safely. Cheers pirate.
