I'll throw another venue into the mix for off-Cape folks (or on Cape folks who want to drive) . . . Horseneck if it stays west. |

it blew 18-22 all sat pm into evening at Horseneck, so there should be swell tomorrow. I'll check it at 915am Sunday and try to post here. Low tide at 3pm, so 1-5 pm optimal wavewise, if the wind cooperates. |

This is the kind of iw forecast that I look at and judge how accurate it is. They have roughly 14-18 peak for the Cape Cod region, NOAA has a Gale Warning. For NOAA I would be excited, not at all for iw. I'm pretty flexible to sail, but for all you weekend warriors you base your day on the forecast. We'll see what happens.
For me it's either Horseneck or Corp., wherever there's waves...Here's hoping! |

Sunday 9 am Horsenck wave 6-8 foot faces breaking , nice shape, a little choppy on the wave face. Long enough wave period to be good, maybe classic at low tide. I'll be there. |

11 am Update. Just measured 25 mph side-on WNW at East end of Horseneck. Wave size is down a little from earlier, but much cleaner particularly at main entrance where wind is sideshore. |
