Friday or Sunday diving off NPR?

I'm still up in the air about Friday vs. Sunday.

Friday E wind 11 to 18 kt, with gusts as high as 24 kt. Mostly sunny. Seas around 2 ft.

Sunday W wind 7 to 9 kt becoming SSW in the morning. Partly sunny. Seas around 2 ft.

Thinking of only heading out to maybe Pasco 4 and/or the area around Pasco 2 in 22-35 fsw max.


Wondering if Friday with the east winds would be better than Sunday with the west winds as well as the front pushing that impulse of energy through late Saturday - I think I could handle slightly windier conditions on Friday with a better chance of decent viz vs. probably worse viz on Sunday.

Opinions?

Eric, I don't see how seas could be 2 feet if it's blowing 11-18 knots with gusts to 24. I think some meteorologists need their heads checked. That to me sounds like it should read 3-4.

Perhaps East wind vs West wave direction?

Latest update has 2-4's... That sounds about right with the wind and incoming front.

Weather window not in our favor either day. Both days will be rough.

I was hoping to go Friday too but scrapping it. Not interested in getting beat up.

Yeah, I'm just going to take it slow and easy, leave early and hopefully back in early. Hoping to get out further than the artificial reefs.
