New swell hitting Saturday. - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

It better not. I'm planning to go out Sat. morning. I just checked magicseaweed - this morning is 4ft - looking at the web-cam, it looks completely do-able. They predict a smaller swell on Sat. than today.
The surfmag site came up blank.

Here's Wetsand's forecast for sat and sun...

Saturday the 22nd should see NW swell build throughout the day. West facing breaks are looking like at head high surf in the early AM, and then a couple feet overhead in the afternoon. Rogue waves are highly likely throughout the day.

Sunday the 23rd is looking like the peak day of this NW'er. Most west facing breaks are looking at sets running 2-3' overhead. Standout west facing breaks are looking at DOH sets.

There has been calls for higher surf on the news also. Although I have been seing it to last through Thursday, there is that chance that things going be going off this weekend. Have fun and be safe to all those heading out.

It won't be big at the launch on Saturday.

Amish Ed · 01-20-2011, 09:15 AM

Saturday morning should be cake, it's the afternoon that'll be more interesting. Sunday should be much more so. I don't know LJ shores will take this swell. Plus, look at the periods, that swell will pack some punch. Just wanted to give a heads up.

krmaxima · 01-20-2011, 09:31 AM

Thanks for the heads up. I usually dont have a problem going out but after a long day of paddling my arms get all tired and have a hard. Guess ill have to stow everything.
