So checking a forecast for this weekend, I see these numbers:
SAT
NE WINDS 5 KT...BECOMING W IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
WIND WAVES LESS THAN 2 FT. W SWELL 4 TO 7 FT.
SUN
NE WINDS 5 KT...BECOMING W IN THE AFTERNOON AND EVENING.
WIND WAVES LESS THAN 2 FT. W SWELL 4 TO 6 FT.
Obviously, wind waves less than 2ft sounds good. If you're shore diving, does W Swell of 4-6,7 feet mean much? How about if you're out on a boat?
And is a swell prediction on Tuesday worth much of its weight for Sat/Sunday?
Just starting to learn how to make a reasonable prediction for a coming up weekend; any pointers or advice greatly appreciated.
