6-8ft and small craft advisory. Wouldn’t go if a gun was to
my head.

Nope! If I'm going out I'm gonna enjoy myself and not be cussing myself wondering why I was dumb enough to go out in that nasty crap!

[SaltwaterSlick]

Well for y'all's sake I hope the forecasters are dead wrong and you are able to have a good trip... For me, I'm glad I gave up my spot this year if the weather is going to be like that!!

[Geezy Rider]

Good luck and tight lines guys.

Port A Surf Forecast (https://www.surf-forecast.com/breaks...latest/six_day) says 8 ft on Friday, 7 ft on Saturday, and 8 ft for the ride home on Sunday.

I've been on the Dolphin Express for 12 hours in 8 to 10 ft seas and it was difficult to walk around without holding on to something. 56 hours at 8 ft will be an adventure. I'm bringing rubber boots because the head will be a mess.

I'm serving chili dogs for Saturday night snacks. Might make for extra-good chum so I'll try to swap days with the Friday night snack guy.

From what Ive gathered, they'll call the trip if over 6s. 5-6s will kick your butt but they'll still go. While the boat is big it's also top heavy and can have a nasty roll. Even if you can handle the seas without getting beat up or sick, fishing turns into a major chore

You cant jig or chunk because the wind is blowing the drift too fast so you're stuck trying to cast the entire time.

I looking at 4-5s with 8 second. Won’t be bad at all. Ride home will be building but who cares. Been plenty on that boat and I would rather go in 4s than 1s. Catch fish in 4s and it’s hard fishing in flat seas

Good luck gents! Hoping for good weather and lots of tuna!

Buddy, I’m not trying to **** in your Cheerios, but it’s 6-8ft Saturday, 7-9ft Sunday. Those deckhands and captains need to go fish to put food on the table. They won’t tell you no. But no way in hell would I be stepping foot on that boat. Someone is likely to get hurt.

Maybe it improves. I’ll be pulling for that.

You have a link that shows the waves?

Also, people paid a lot of money for this trip and have had it planned a long time. Being optimistic is best IMO.. If Thursday night gets here and it's really bad waves they'll figure out something.
