how many seconds apart makes for a bad day?

depends if the fish are biting :tooth:

look on the bottom of the page for the wave bouys. it says... swell, steep, very steep, average, n/a,,, etc....also the little bar graph to the left of whear it says wave hight..wave period,, etc.. you can get a good idea from those graphs..
3 foot every 3 seconds is bumpy... 3 foot every 8 seconds is swell..
this morning off cape ann, it was 2.3 foot every 10 seconds.--> big comfy swells..
tomorrow is not bad at all.
were leaving tonight out of the merrimac to shark fish all night..
probly be some 15-30 miles east of the merrimac..

Riff-Raff or fishinfreak on 16-68

so basically 3 seconds is the determining factor? 3 secs or less = tough day but >3secs is more like swell. But when does wave height change this. I'm sure that 2 -3'ers at 3 secs is alot different than 5'ers at 3 secs.:huh:

Also is there a good way to figure out a forecast between the forcasted conditions and actual observation?

right now forcast says east wind seas 2-3 foot.
the wave bouy off cohaset says different. 1.6 foot every 10 seconds n/e wind 9 knots.

i like the 1.6ft opinion.

where does the "forcast" get its info from?

Probably the same wx models that everyone else uses.

Was just out in Boston Harbor hoping to get outside to see if I could find some Tuna....Made it just past Deer Island and turnded around...there were 2 to 3 footers in the Harbor with a pretty stiff NE wind....could have kept going but it was not going to be fun

good question

thanks
