Conditions in Jupiter this weekend?

[johnny_bravo]

I looked at the NOAA forecast and it states "EAST WINDS 15 TO 20 KNOTS"...i'm assuming no one is going out in those conditions...any east coast locals around with a forecast?

Thanks.

I'm sure you've already looked at this; it's supposed to rain/thunderstorm in addition. I'm keeping an eye out too, as the forecast does say seas 2-4.........moderately doable, if the storms don't pan out.......

Similar forecast to last weekend here in South Florida. Went out on Saturday, and was actually 2-3 with an occassional 4. NOAA is reliable, but will always err on the side of caution.

Thanks guys. I called Jupiter Dive Center and they said they will go out if it stays as 2-4' forecast.

Cheers.

Not to burst any bubbles...

But NOAA was waaaay off on one of the days we were in FL. Called for seas 2 ft or less... wound up being seas of 4-6 ft! HURL!

we are expecting 60-80 ft visibility this weekend.

They certainly blow it (no pun intended) every now and then. I'm just saying...as a South Florida native...more often than not, conditions will be less severe than the forecast. Sorry to hear it went the other way for you.

I did go out with JDC on their 3 tank charter and conditions were incredible...2-3 foot, sunny (no thundershowers), and mild currents.

NOAA was indeed way off!

Cheers.
