Weather and wind looks OK for Tuesday, still wondering what the inlet conditions may be like with the ENE swell. Tide is high at 4:40am and will be starting to fall around first light. Anyone have an idea of what to expect?

add 1 hr to the tide at the cape for the change at the inlet.

Guess that makes the tide high at 5:40.............. hoping the swell lays down.

just looked at teach's lair cam...looks like a few went out this am

I think it will be a little bumby getting across the shoal and then it will probably be a nice ride out thats my guess...

The inlet this am had a little left over swell.

The tide was perfect, the last trickle of flood.

We had two waves that almost were as high as my bow, a couple of little boats did make it through.

you guys should have no trouble Tuesday on.

But, be careful, been there done that, washed out my curtains!
