Looks like we could have good conditions to go Green Harbor to Plymouth beach...wind at 25 waves 6' at 6 sec. Easy paddle out behind the jetty at GH and coming in at the beach should be fun....it's going to be crazy crossing Brown's. Sunday looks to be a little too much....wind is better but a windblown 12' at 12 secs would be pushing it.

Sunday could be good. I got to get out so I might just go solo if no takers....N winds at 25-30 kts, waves from NE 7' at 7 secs...same spot.....protected put in behind the harbor jetty. 10+ miles freight train ride to Plymouth....a somewhat sketchy beach break landing.

Sunday was real good if you were a windsurfer.  :D

That would have been pretty good on a SUP for those with the skills....the Maui crew would eat that for lunch.....me...I'd fall a lot.

It would have been a work out even for the Maui crew in 30 degree weather wind N-NE 35-40 mph. The wind chill factor was brutal probably zero degrees. It was so cold I couldn't even pee my hands were frozen. The swells there are more steeper Victory-at-Sea conditions than open spread out swells.

I would love to see if advanced downwind sup'ers could do it.

Btw... the windsurfer is zoner Jerry Evans aka Cape Kook.
