MondaySoutheast winds around 50 knots. Seas 11 to 13 feet. Showers and thunderstorms.
Somewhere, someone will be thinking "Maybe the kings will be biting at the pier?" LOLpokenfish and crazynewts like this.

WOW!
This has gone south in a hurry...
From Friday's 4pm Marine forecast:
Sunday Night
tropical storm conditions possible. Northeast winds 30 to 35 knots becoming east around 45 knots.
Seas around 11 feet building to around 20 feet.
What plans for closing the pier?
Will the new down lights be pulled? (only recently replaced from last year's storm)
Will the panels be pulled from the end?crazynewts likes this.

Just received this email reply:
At this time we do not anticipate removing the panels, the down lights will be removed if the waves become a threat and we will keep the pier open until such time that safety becomes a concern. If any decision is made to close the pier because of this storm I will do my best to let you know.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like when the conditions worsen to the level that would warrant action -- it would be too late to do anything. I'd rather be proactive, but again -- that's just me.

This subtle eastward shift in the late morning forecast track of "Alberto" may bode better for us by putting the pier more on the western side of the circulation...
Still this 'worrisome' marine forecast of swells perhaps over 20 feet (but at least the winds would be more northeast, then veering to northerly...

Hate to wish it on others, but a continued eastward trend would be much appreciated.
I dont know how much rain we've gotten at the house in the last two weeks, but its been 1/4 to 1" every single day. Got at least 1/2" already today.Carl

Send it north and west. I'm still waiting for enough water in the rivers to do some serious striper fishing.
