Check the hourly reports before you leave the house. And the radar.
Good day to stay home!!!!

Went out last weekend on my uncle's boat(24' WA) to do some diving, forecast looked ok, drank some coffee on the way to the ramp. Another cup on the way out, hmmm bluefish all over the place and nobody fishing. Must be some bass mixed in.

Left the harbor and 2-3' seas, ok. Not to bad. Get on location and now 3-4' seas building with the occasional 5' over the transom. Well, we'll stick it out. Find our wreck on the fishfinder.....after putting around awhile.......

and all the way back.

Bluefish still all over with nobody on them but to sick to fish.

The buoys don't lie. I like the Montauk buoy myself, it's usually very telling as to what you'll find in RI Sound.

The NWS guys should check out their own website sometime, their short term forecasts would be much more accurate...

I was looking at the Buzzards Bay tower on the sight you recommended and @ 90 degrees it shows an Island. Is that Block Island?...putting the entrance tower just South West of the Island?
Thanks..
