I too agree I DON'T THINK we will be going fishing on Saturday,

Check out this site!!    Cape San Martin is our fishing grounds.

      https://www.windfinder.com/forecast/cape_san_martin 

Not to be the dream killer BUTT,

Saturday Winds to 30 mph,     Gusts at 35 mph,

Waves 10 1/2 feet  at  9-second intervals.     We'ze NOT going.

BUTT let's wait for Capt. Sal to provide the final word.

Jonathan, you still up for surf fishing at Pescadero???   I am.

And this , .SYNOPSIS...07/349 AM.
   
  Gusty northwest to north winds will affect southern Santa Barbara
  County and the Interstate 5 Corridor later today into Sat, with 
  gusty winds also expected at times in the Antelope Valley, on the
  Central Coast and in the Los Angeles County Valleys. Minimal night
  through morning low clouds and fog south of Point Conception will
  increase over the weekend, while they will remain widespread on 
  the Central Coast and in the Santa Ynez Valley. Temperatures will 
  average 5 to 10 degrees above normal in most areas away from the 
  immediate coast through Saturday, then gradual cooling is expected.
   
  &&
   
  .SHORT TERM (TDY-FRI)...07/421 AM.
   
  Low clouds and fog were widespread on the Central Coast, in the 
  Santa Ynez Valley and across the interior valleys of SLO County.
  South of Pt Conception, there were no low clouds, although some
  were beginning to form in Orange County and in the coastal waters
  to the south and west of Los Angeles County. By daybreak, it is
  possible that areas of low clouds and fog may push into coastal
  sections of L.A. County. Any low clouds should clear in most 
  areas by late morning, but there should be enough high cloudiness
  to make for a partly cloudy afternoon in most areas. 
   
  Winds have dropped below advisory levels across nearly all of
  Santa Barbara County early this morning. However, N-S gradients
  are expected to increase again late this afternoon and evening,
  and winds will likely again reach advisory levels from Refugio
  westward this afternoon, spreading eastward to include most of the
  Santa Ynez Range and locations in the south coast of Santa Barbara
  County below passes and canyons later in the evening. Winds should
  also reach low end Wind Advisory levels through the Interstate-5
  Corridor by late this evening. At this point, expect winds to
  remain just below advisory levels in the Antelope Valley through
  tonight.   
   
  Rises in heights and thicknesses and weaker onshore gradients
  should allow for several degrees of warming in most areas today,
  especially away from the immediate coast. 
   
  An upper trough will swing through the Pac NW tonight and Thu,
  then into the Rockies Thu night and Fri. This will cause the 
  upper level flow to become more west northwesterly and increase
  in strength across the region late Thu and Thu night, with a
  decently strong jet over the area into Fri night. There will
  be increasing subsidence across Santa Barbara County Thu night,
  overspreading the region Fri. At the same time, N-S gradients will
  become increasingly offshore between KSBA and KSMX and also
  between KSBA and KBFL and KLAX and KBFL. All of these factors
  will create the potential for damaging wind gusts across southern
  Santa Barbara County, especially through and below passes and
  canyons of the Santa Ynez Range into adjacent portions of the
  south coast from Thu evening through late Fri night or Sat
  morning. A High Wind Watch is in effect for these areas from Thu
  evening through mid morning Sat.

There is nothing like lying flat on your back on the deck, alone except for the helmsman aft at the wheel, silence except for the lapping of the sea against the side of the ship. At that time you can be equal to Ulysses and brother to him.

Wayne what do you want me to do with the tri-tips?

It'll be a major hassle and I'll suffer through it but I'm willing to just eat them myself  ;D ;D ;D

Another great resource for keeping up with ocean conditions.  https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/
The nice thing about Dial A Buoy is if you know the Buoy Number/Station Code for areas you fish you can call and get a voice recording of current conditions at that station.  Hoping the weather settles down for you all! - john

Is anyone canceling their reservation? Or are you just waiting for the boat/landing to call you and tell you it's not going.....

I relayed the weather forecast to my newbie coworkers and a bunch of them called today and canceled their reservations. I told them that was smart move as these are not the conditions you want for your first trip offshore....

However if the boat goes I'll be on it......

It's looking better as the week wears on.  It might be lake Pacific... by Moro Bay standards, by Saturday.

Thanks, Alan for the update,

Checking the NOAA Site for Bouy #46028 - which is the Cape San Martin Bouy:

       https://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/data/Forecasts/FZUS56.KMTR.html

FRI NIGHT
NW winds 25 to 30 kt with gusts up to 40 kt. Wind
waves 10 to 12 ft. NW swell 3 to 5 ft at 10 seconds.

SAT
NW winds 25 to 30 kt with gusts up to 40 kt.
Combined seas 11 to 13 ft.


I texted these sea conditions to my brother-in-law (Jennifer's younger brother), who in his younger years did commercial fishing out of Kodiak, AK Harbor for Tanner Crab (aka Snow Crab or opilio) - think January fishing conditions in the Gulf of Alaska - and he told me IF you didn't want to fish in those conditions, you would be left standing at the harbor. 

Doug said MAYBE with winds at 40+ mph and seas above 35 feet - MAYBE, just maybe they would stay at home BUTT... probably NOT.

Interesting the Commercial Snow or Tanner Crab harvest season did not begin until 1961. 

Another time,

You can call the Landing and cancel if you're 100% sure you don't want to go. I'd call right now/today to cancel because I'm not sure how far in advance you need to cancel to ensure you get your money back.

If the boat cancels we'll get refunded the 100%

When i called the Landing yesterday they said the boat would let us know by friday

That's a bummer, springtime on the central coast can be a cruel mistress
Do what you can with that you have where you are

alantani

i'm still in if the boat is going.  likely the only way i'll get sick on the boat is if i still have a measurable alcohol level from the night before!   ;D
