Thanks for the heads-up on the wind... As I was going out, the wind didn't seem too bad. Then it picks shortly after, then dies for quite a while. Around 4pm, it a blazing headwind all the way to the launch.. what shoulda been 15 min turned into 30-40 min in the ol' FnD. Nothin but a liz fish for me..

Thanks for the report Brad, hopefully I'll get out tommorrow.

Let's hope this wind settles. Blew off this morning (no pun intended) due to the steady offshore.

Plenty of people out yesterday, nothing but a sculpin for me. Even the boneys that kept popping up in piles did not seem to be biting for anyone. The threat of wind had me worried about a long paddle in with my Saturday work schedule, glad the weatherman got the AM portion wrong.

Hey Brinkman, what are you looking at?

I just triple checked the Torrey Pines wind forecast for Monday, and it's looking like light wind?

I dropped by the launch this morning around 11:00 and the wind was not bad at all at the lauch, swell was minimal. Am I reading something wrong? I got my info from here

Ok, that didn't seem to paste well....but the wind looks to be blowing "W" at about7-8 knots in the morning....
