campgrounds had good swell today and building. might be tough to launch this weekend. I tried to visualize it where i surfed, and it looked doable, but a bit sketch.

yeah there will be plenty of surf to deal with, 5-7ft @ 16-18sec from the SSW will wrap into just about anywhere in c-bad...i'd try it anyway tho, long period wave are alot easier to deal with than the 6-8sec windswell waves we see from the huricains ...pack light, one or two rods and anything that you can fit below deck, bring some swimbaits, spoons and frozen squid (fish them whole on a leadhead just like a swimbait)
