For those of you who were feeling envious of fishing in CA offshore waters - here is a typical forecast this year. BTW, this was for Monday when I was scheduled on a 6 man charter on a 34' boat.

LABOR DAY
NW WINDS 15 TO 25 KT. WIND WAVES 3 TO 5 FT.
NW SWELL 10 TO 12 FT AND S 2 FT

Would you go?

Bah Humbug!

Enjoy the calm GOM!

LABOR DAY
WIND VARIABLE LESS THAN 10 KT...BECOMING W 10 KT IN
THE AFTERNOON. WIND WAVES 2 FT OR LESS. MIXED SWELL W 2 TO 3 FT
AND S 2 FT.

This is from noaa for the San Diego area, buoy 86. You should go
if it is going to be this mild.

Unfortunately, San Diego is about 700 miles(I think) from my location north of SF

Codmaster all you need is a side trip to Humbolt county before you head out on the waters. That should calm your nerves.

PS: You live up in one of the prettiest part of the state.

Last time I was in Cali I drove from San Diego to Santa Rosa (which is where you now live Dick if I remember right). I booked offshore trips every night and every one got blown out...even though the Buoy Center showed favorable conditions offshore.

When I asked (ok, b!tched) to a captain about this he said "I know, but people look and see the chop nearshore and don't book."

Those Santa Anita? winds did stir things up a bit but still I was bummed.

John - yes, Santa Rosa it is. Beautiful country - no rain all summer AND no snow all winter!

Very cute dog!

I Lived in southern california from 90-95 and tried a head boat just once. Guys were wild throwing "iron" and I had enouf after 5 minutes. I spent my time fishing the piers both North & South of Newport Beach and always had a good time. I kind of now wish we had sites like this back then as I spent many hours in a helicopter over the ocean and could had saved the gps numbers from the boats all huddled over a small piece and shared them with whoever wanted to add me to the boat roster.
