Your forecasts have been good in the past. NOAA has it flat 2 or less from Wednesday night on... I am keeping an eye out and may take couple days off and do Wednesday and Thursday night!!

Uncle Buck · 04-18-2006, 12:16 PM

Yeah... 2-3ft with an 8-second period will feel like 2 or less.

NOAA's standard report is a consolidated "relative" forecast and averages that data over 12 hours. Buoyweather gives all the factors separately in 6-hour increments.

The longer the wave (swell), the less your boat will be tossed around, and thus feel like calmer seas. As an approximate calculation, take a foot off the wave height at 8 seconds; take 1.5 ft off at 10 seconds; take 2-3 ft off at 12 seconds. This will give a better idea of how it will "feel" out there.

Nice report UB. i might have to go for the first time since the Tranquilizer was "SALVAGED"......

Captain Ollie · 04-18-2006, 05:46 PM

I love your forecasts. Could you please inform the NOAA people to check with you before they issue theirs? Or you could tell them that the 1980's called and they said they need their majic 8 ball back.

just2fish · 04-18-2006, 05:58 PM

well it looks like thursday will be the first solo trip (no professional captian on the boat). all geared up and ready to go. the weather lady says 2 feet or less... cant wait.. see you all out there. Ray (just2fish)

Uncle Buck · 04-18-2006, 06:03 PM

Ollie... That's funny! Oddly, Buoyweather get's their info from NOAA. :???:

Disco Lady · 04-18-2006, 07:40 PM

CONO!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT WEATHER MAN :lol:

Captain Ollie · 04-19-2006, 09:49 PM

They get their info from who?? I can't believe it! My call to go usually rests with conditions I saw on the water that day when I left....If I was out diving that day. Or, I check Fowey Rocks at the NDBC and I give the Ft. Lauderdale Beach cam a look. If its less than 20 knots and not out of the west or any of the northerly directions, its usually a go for me. In summer I also check the weather radars as well.

Thanks for the outlook UB,

Anybody else going on Sun. We are going to try and get out early and look for the man in the Blue suit, Standing by on 72.
