I would have thought it primo for the West Coast, especially once you're over the bar. And leading up to high/on high shouldn't be dramatic on that forecast. Might take the Mrs out for a snapper fish tomorrow so I'd best get it right.  |

I like it when you boys in the East have a big swell coming! Usually means it's good news for us.

I guess you missed the hot tip Bushie... Swellmap's free now. And it's looking goooooooooooooood as gold on Swellmap. Naturally the official Metservice forecast has twice the wind, twice the swell and sea in a state of rough/easing. |

She's suddenly lost enthusiasm. These people capsizing on the bar are wrecking my fishing before I even get the bait out of the freezer!  |
