I've taken the weekends of May 6th and May 13th off to go offshore but we wont be going out if swells are higher than 3ft.... What do ya'll think my odds are?
Wrong! If your relatives come into town (especially a mother-in-law) the wind is sure to blow to ensure that you get the benefit of every minute of their company! Brothers, are usually a different story...
I dunno fellas, I looked at 5 weather models and 3 wave models and I gave up because they was all conflicted and I decided it was OK to get happy hour drunk because I wasn't goin' offshore anytime soon. :hairout:
Im about ready to just go... Stack crab traps in the cockpit and make a video of the ride out !!!!!!!! This wind is making the crew pretty mad at the fish !!!!LOL Poor fish ! I AM READY TO GET TIGHT SUCKAS !!!!!!! Capt. Ahab

R U SERIOUS? LOL,... YOU MIGHT AS WELL ASK US TO SHOOT OURSELVES IN THE HEAD!!!! HA HA HA HA!!!! IM HOPING THAT WIND DIES DOWN SOON. IT HAS BEEN WAY OUT OF HAND!!!!! RIDICULOUS!!!!!!
I don't own a Farmers Almanac, but occording to someone who does, it's going to be a windy and dry summer in the South. Got to say so far, it's looking pretty accurate !
My log book shows me the week of July 4th ...plus minus 10 days or if El Nino comes of this ....late August or early September... of coarse allowing for a hurricane or two in the mix....after the joke of all jokes ,Snapper "Season",is long gone with no rec fishermen participation.........& $4 gas d l
I never bet the winds to die down until the middle of July. There is always that chance that they could die down next week. I remember about 4 years ago there were no winds starting in middle of May.
For what it's worth - La Nina conditions that bring us hot, dry, and windy conditions should go neutral by early June. This could open up the SE trades to more tropical moisture coming in, and easterly waves that sometimes cause tropical storms, coastal thunderstorms, and so forth. Nobody can really predict this stuff but that's the general sense I get.

Not even this weekend ? what ya say Sammie ? :biggrin:
I am impress with your meteorologist knowledge NOAA should ask you first to get an accurate forecast for ONCE.
Don't bet on mother nature. I would say the end of May,the wind's should lay down some. Though I would not bet on it. Most spring weather patterns are windy along the Texas coast,though not like this. We also need a lot of rain,and soon.
Out................
As a State of Texas Nurseryman I attended a seminar a few years back and the presentation was by the chief Meteorologist of the southern region.
When asked about the effect of La Nina and El Nino on our hurricane outlook he said ....
"....Although we tend to forecast more storms during the El Nino effect the truth is that of the five (5) highest storm count years .... two (2) occurred during a dominating El Nino, two (2) occurred during a La Nina dominated season and one (1) occurred during a neutral year..."
He indicated that because there is an El Nino it didn't always mean we were going to have more tropical activity but stopped short of saying that evaluation was not worthwhile.
Rest assured gentlemen, now that I am back to working weekends starting this week, the wind is sure to lay soon!
I've been watching/waiting, and Murphy's law is sure to play out perfectly now!
