Weather Friday
Submitted by Sea goat on Thu, 2020-06-18 11:30
Hey guys. What are people's opinions about tomorrow's weather? I have the day off and was thinking about maybe going out from Hillarys and fishing within the 3 mile to see if any snapper around. Wind looks ok, but a fair bit of swell early on. Seabreeze saying 2.7, and willyweathet up to 3m. Normally wouldn't even consider with that sort of swell, but given the wind reckon it may b ok??

Launch in Cockburn
Do you think it would be OK in Cockburn launching at Woodmans point ?
Cheers

Don't spend all your money on beer, boats, and fishing. Save some to spend foolishly

I'd stay clear of the 3 mile
I'd stay clear of the 3 mile and the inner reefs when the swell is 2m + It can break where you usually would not expect it to .... dangerous.

The prediction looks even
The prediction looks even better this morning now I don't know where to go d9, between the islands, harding rock or somewhere a little further out will have to go out and see how the swell is.

It would be good if there
It would be good if there was a daily update posted online and at the boat ramps to interprit the weather conditions. Kinda like the fire risk warnings you see in the hills.
Being new to boating myself, I never feel confident reading the weather reports and making my own mind up if it is safe or not.
1-5 scale, with 1 indicated good conditions and 5 being serious risk to life.

Unfortunately this wouldn’t
Unfortunately this wouldn’t work as too many variables.What might be ok conditions for a 25ft boat would be potentially life threatening for a family of four in a 12ft tinny also the boating area transit and destination is variable

Good idea from the lane
I think the idea of having a conditions board at launching ramps has merit and is something that could be looked into.

Absolute glass but ocean
Absolute glass but ocean still unsettled with the swell still pumping. Decided to skip targetting pinks and fish a protected bombie for skippy with an outside chance of a snapper. Took home 4x skippy around 55cm and another 4 in the high 40s. Released 5 or 6 snapper around the 480 mark.
Didn't stay too long after sunset as i still wanted to be able to see coming in
