Thread: Seas & weather

Planning a trip this weekend, can somebody tell me the conditions of the Gulf....flat seas, 1 - 2 ft, 3 to 4ft........water clarity....Thanks

Windy earlier this week but now calm. Water clarity is dark/dirty.

According to the report from the weather buoy off Orange Beach, the winds at this time are 17 to 19 knots with 3.6 foot seas. Judging from the pier cam, the water visibility is about two feet. This can all change in a matter of a few hours, and the marine forecast for this weekend is more favorable. You can get the weather buoy reports from the sidebar on this forum. Good fishing.

Thank all of you for the reply.

yes, it makes it hard sometimes to plan a trip when you look at the beach/pier cams and see flat seas, then you look at forecast and buoy info that say 3-4 ft. seas, and I agree, things down there can change awful quick.
