In reference to the 'shitty' weather... are we talking about mostly wind here or what? What I've seeing thus far on Weather Underground is 74º and clear... with winds starting off at 6 AM at around 3 mph NNE, 5 mph WNW at 11 AM, 10 mph W by Noon, and 13 mph W by 1 PM
Doesn't seem like it would be a lot different over at Cabrillo but maybe I'm wrong on this... you dudes have more experience than I do... that's for sure.
Someone give me the run down... I'd like to learn what is going on.

Possibility of some wind is all I see in the forecast
Did see temp drop but now that isn't has bad as earlier predictions
Wind picked up today around 4:30
I say keep it at Redondo
Unless you guys see something else?

The winds look fine but swells are going to be pretty tight
3.6' and climbing to 4.3' after 11am
just figured that we could avoid the swell and fish Cabrillo......................majority rules so I'm down for whatever.

This would be my first time fishing out front from Redondo, so I'm thinking... mmmmaybe play it safe and skip the swells? Fish Cabrillo? I dunno... Don't wanna seem like a pussy, but just don't know what to expect is all.
I had about a gallon of water or more in my hull in my Stealth 14 at the end of the day just from fishing at the end of the channel (as well as around the bay) from Mission Bay last Saturday! I even added the weatherstripping to my hatches earlier this year... dang. Those damn side hatches are the culprit I believe. I took on some water splashing over the sides while bobbing around in the sloppy channel, and guarantee it got down into my hull. Time to do the bilge pump mod or think about moving on to another kayak. Andy switched out my side hatches for me when Malibu sent him a new set for me (supposedly better than the original ones, but now I'm not so sure). I didn't even have my two batteries and Bassyaks on board during the tournament either... yikes!
What's the best website to find information on the forecasted swells by the way?
I'm good with whatever you guys want to do...
