How many times are we going to go over this...

1. Check the tide stations and the buoys for actual wind before you leave the dock
2. Use The RI Sound forecast for south of the bridge winds
3. It always feels worse. Conimicut was 15kt gusts this AM. just feels crappy dead up the bay
4. 4-6ft means in the trough you are looking up and just see water higher than your head... we had 6's with some 8's last canyon trip.... trust me that's big. Even in the tide there, 3ft and short spacing can feel big.

I'm just glad you estimate fish size better than wave heights
