Found a link to the Nantucket Data Bouy which is 10nm east of Nantucket. Interesting information!

For those who fish the BB and the SE rips of Nantucket...

Wow,

Those numbers look terible. Best of luck to those that must go out.

I feel really bad about complaining when it's in the sixties with a light breeze.

Gents,

Let me ask you a question. What would it be like out there with a 23'? Has anyone ever been there?
Is it posible without swamping (dying)?

From down maryland way, and as a charter boat captain, we would sum those numbers up as a whiskey front. [img]images/icons/wink.gif[/img]

Otto, your used to the great lakes where numbers like that would mean you should bend over and start puckering. Those kind of sea's are pretty regular here and a NW wind isn't nearly as bad as a NE. Not that anyone with half a brain plans on going out in seas like that.

We are taking our 23 to Cape Coral in one week. Actually, my buddy is taking my rig down there and I will join them in Mid-February. How is the offshore stuff that time of year? I hear they do pretty well with King Macks from time to time...
