All - I'm heading north from the Chesapeake to Maine this coming week. Intention is to head from Kent Island, MD to Belmar, NJ tomorrow (relative has a house there) and spend a couple of days before continuing on.
Question is regarding NJ marine forecast as I don't know the waters well. Came south the same way from Long Island Sound in April, had a perfect weather day from Old Saybrook to Cape May on our first day.
For reference, I'll be on plane at 20-22 kts (I know, not a trawler, but I value the experience here...and previously had a trawler). Here's tomorrow's forecast:
SAT (July 10)
N winds 5 to 10 kt. Seas 3 to 4 ft. Swell mainly from the
S with a dominant period of 7 seconds.
Wind against swell, but light wind and swell on my stern, and a decent period. Seems fine to me but if anyone with local knowledge thinks otherwise, would welcome your input. Thanks in advance!
