15 KNOTS AND GUSTY IN THE AFTERNOON. SEAS 2 TO 3 FEET EXCEPT 2

What's the general feeling on how close this will be with the thought in mind of being 5-7 miles offshore??

Go early and come back early it will be comfortable. Come back late it will be uncomfortable.

Thanks wevans. My dilemma is that my rider (with the numbers
) is off Tuesday. Trying to decide if it's worth the risk (early pm winds/gusty) to go early. Would be in sight of mashes sands, but in my skiff. If the winds shift to the SW we'd at least be coming back in with a following chop.

Knowing whether your vessel will handle the worst part of the scenario is the answer.....Knowing whether NOAA gets it right is a shot in the dark, so knowing my first statement is also a shot in the dark....Go fishing, pay attention...deep in the morning and work your way back in...if its too rough from the start, don't go deep

Good advice and perspective Chalk
I have no doubt that my equipment can (has) handled conditions that are possible tomorrow. I guess it's a matter of comfort and the commitment of the time (vacation leave, etc) The ole cost benefit analysis going on... In other words... there ain't a blessed soul on this forum that can make the decision for me
Thanks folks.

You're making it way too difficult. Either ya wanna fish, or you don't. Right now, after watching the tree tops bent over all day, I don't.

Wind out of the SW? Go early, before it kicks up, and come back with it.
How bad can it be?

If I'd gonna early .....we'd have gotten beat up!! We decided to lay off of the trip due to an 8:45 doc appointment that my guest had and not try a late morning departure! which would have been perfect
