ANYONE GOIN OUT 1/25 OR IS THAT A DUMB QUESTION...
 

I WISH THIS RAIN STOPS. I WANTED TO HEAD OUT TOMMOROW, BUT I DONT THINK THATS GONNA HAPPEN:vollkommenauf: . IF IT DOES CLEAR UP THEN I HOPE TO SEE YOU OUT THERE.

Check the wind and surf reports before you launch. It might be kind of ugly once you get out a ways.

Good luck

Playing it by ear
Might hit up a protected harbor like alamitos bay or huntington harbor.
Definitely wouldn't brave the open ocean, but a small tight harbor, yeah that might be do'able

Maybe its just wishful thinking

Looking at the weather here in Scripps Ranch I would say hell ya.... but after reading the forecasts... I am going to have to be ascarred :afraid: and head to the garage for some much needed work at home. It just isn't worth the risk or hassle of being blown out to sea!:ahhhhh: I can only paddle so fast.:turtle: Maybe next week will be better for my woosy butt.

NEVER LISTEN TO THE WEATHERMAN
Fri- forecast wind and rain - actual beautiful day - pumped out flooded garage from thursday night
Sat - forecast rain and wind - actual beautiful day, too late to head out
SUn - forecast rain and wind - actual beautiful day - pumped out flooded garage, again

So never made it out
:mad:

Yeah, bad call. I went to La Jolla on Saturday morning, expecting to see "victory at sea" and saw a lake instead;)

Those marine forecasts cover a large area and there can be some major variances.
