Not doom-mongering, just stating the facts. I can't help that the weather forecast looks crap. Besides, XC agrees with BBC Weather. Looking past Sunday the wind speeds are still in the 20's rising to 40's by Wednesday, so there doesn't seem much of a chance that the high winds will blow through in time for Sunday.

mike farrants Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 fingers crossed it blows itself out by then - still got 3 days to improve before the skipper decides!

Saintly Fish Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 This is the day I'm concentrating on, as this is more likely to become Sunday's weather and this is fishable in my 8.6m mono hull. So, in theory it should be ok for a large cat 🤞🏻 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Odyssey Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 I’ve found windy.com best. That gives the wind forecast as a map and you get the forecast out at sea as well… There is a lot of low pressure around, it only needs to head a bit more north and it’d make a real difference Saintly Fish 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, but Windy doesn't show that far out yet, so that leaves us with the BBC and XC forecasts for 20's and 30's out to Tuesday. #dontshootthemessenger Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Odyssey Posted October 19, 2021 Share Posted October 19, 2021 Windy is 24knts gusting 32knts at 9am on Sunday…. TBH I’m more interested in Friday forecast to get up the channel…. Looks like it’s on, going to be hell but it’s doable 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
