This wind is really hampering the effort to fish.Hopefully it lets up some this evening.

Does wind help or hurt surf fishing?
Does the wind direction make a difference, as in pushing fish or bait towards the beach?
Wind SUCKS for boat fishing!

Ronnie I've found it can both help and hinder depending on direction and intensity.A southerly wind is good.Wind certainly pushes bait towards shore.In my travels I've found fishing east facing areas during a SE wind to be good and west facing areas during a SW wind also.A really HARD wind regardless of direction just plain makes for difficult conditions,such as now.Generally speaking a strong northerly wind makes for poor fishing.
Obviously none of this is written in stone as I fished a west facing area Friday evening during a fairly stiff N wind an caught several fish.

Ron, sometimes, in the right place, a good hard blow can stack the fish against the shore like cordwood!  "If" you know the right place and the right wind!  |
