question about the winds

[DOENUT65]

When winds are from the N, NE, or E, a good rule of thumb is....Forecast waves 2ft or less = 1-3's. forecast 1-3= 2-4ft, forecast 2-4= 3-5's. The waves have a lot of water to build upon when wind is from any of those directions and a computer generated wave forecast goes on speed only without taking into consideration direction. I have found windfinder to be the most accurate but I check at least 3 different sites and compare. I also use the South Bass or Put In Bay location.

when the water is as cold as it is now and its spring time, its just wise to add in an extra ft. of wave action into the report, when the water warms along with weather those reports you get are much closer to reality.
