I'm a Fish!
anybody been to LBTS or surrounding area? I'm wanting to take my wifey out there to experience but don't wanna drive and be un prepared. I seen water temps were about 70. I think a skin and my 5mm will do me fine and her 7mm should be ok but cold water currents can change that. so whats it been like out there.

I'm not a fan of reading the reports of what they think MAY happen. there where times the forcast was saying it's going to be really bad conditions and we get to a place and it was perfect. Didn't know if anyone had been out there lately.
 
It looks great on the fort lauderdale camera right now with westerly winds, 1 foot on the Dania report. It could turn bad by this afternoon.
 
It does not look bad at all right now. It was pretty flat all of last week, turned choppy yesterday. Flat right now.
