Reel Repair by Alan Tani

Alan and I should be there around mid-day Thursday. So I should have time to get some groceries and I can cook reasonably well. My only gluten free, vegan recipe is black coffee, though.
How many will be there?

Inshore waters  SLO forecast for Sat from NWS as of Wed AM:
Sat  NW wind 10 to 20 kt, becoming 20 to 30 kt in the afternoon. Seas 5 to 7 ft. Wave detail: NW 6 ft at 8 seconds, NW 2 ft at 12 seconds and S 2 ft at 17 seconds. Patchy fog in the afternoon.

The forecast from the ECMFW model seems to be holding up so far.

Looks a bit bumpy with such a short period, but the swell is not huge.  Wind is getting up there .   Per John's comment, I am wondering where they draw the line to call off trips there. Close to shore maybe not as bad with the NW wind and swells?   Keeping my fingers crossed for you guys...

Yes she will be bumming around town while we fish.  I can bring a pot of chili and corn bread.

The weather doesn't look promising. Hope they're wrong

Have a great trip and a good time, guys!

NOAA Marine forecast for Saturday looks a little like peering down into a washing machine while on the Agitation Cycle, with 20-25 knot winds, and close swell intervals

Hope it is not that bad.

Maybe bring some surf fishing gear, just in case.

It has been unseasonably cold and weird weather up here in the Sierra Nevadas at 4500', for May.  32° last night, high today around 57°.  Winds 7mph to 15mph.  We received about 3 minutes of rain yesterday.

Best, Fred

Just saw this .

A little better forecast now so that's a positive. A little breezy and lumpy but classic morro bay weather
