For those that are Bahamas-bound, June 6+

Uncle Buck

It was looking so nice as of yesterday. Then... **** **** ****. :banghead

This forecast is based on a point half-way between Boynton and West End.

Of course. I leave town (work) this Sunday and come home Friday. Just in time for the wind maker to kick back into full effect. Think it may be time to sell the boat, but first I need to make a deal with a bunch of you. If I sell my boat and the weather gets better I want assured spots on others boats.... I figure you are benefiting by my selling mine so I should get something out of it.
Just how my luck seems to roll this year.

****?

no bueno. we had plans on heading to bimini that friday. this wind is ridiculous

Uncle Buck

Well... next week is still a week away. The accuracy of a 7th-day forecast is low. Usually need to get within 3 days to start trusting the forecast. So by Wednesday next week (6/5) we'll have a better idea of what that weekend will be like. So, nobody go canceling your plans just yet! I've still got my fingers crossed.

Since I have a dog in this fight too, I'll try to keep this thread/forecast updated daily.

No doubt. Yesterday's forecast for thursday was 1ft seas. Hoping to get over next weekend, we'll see.

Low depression is on it's way..That and big rain storm...

Uncle Buck

Hmmm... Whatever that thing is, it's quickly advancing in the forecast. There's hope for us folks heading over during the weekend. Won't be a smooth ride, but better than yesterday's forecast.

First Born

I can work with that!

Venturesome

feel your pain and wish you luck.

bullchaser

Buck can u get us updated!?! Thanks brotha

Next Level

It's looking better.

Uncle Buck

Seems like the forecast is averaging out a bit over several days, rather than having that 2-day spike. Again... it won't be a smooth ride over, but not intolerable. Those short wave periods are going to be the annoying part, but the Gulfstream should smooth out a little with the south winds. Anyone returning to FL Sunday/Monday should have a nice ride.

Looking like its gonna be one of those game time decisions! Tanks again for update.

Hey Bill, thanks for the forecast! A mutual friend has his boat sitting at Harbour Island, and was planning on getting it this weekend. I need to get out there and whack some tunas.

Uncle Buck

Yep... I know who you're talking about.

Uncle Buck is giving it to you straight! Doesn't mean we are not tempted to "shoot the messenger" :grin :machinegun

Buoy Weather has proven to be more reliable than NOAA and other forecasting services.
Costs me $15 a month, but like being ableto click on the stream, or Bahamas and compare weather here and other side.

Uncle Buck

Eric! Do yourself a favor and pay $80 for the yearly subscription! $15 per month is costing you $180 per year.

Hey Bull, I don't like the forecast either. But this messenger will be getting wet along with everyone else who's going over. :grin

absolutely. Being able to get tailored forecasts for stream, channel, corner etc that have been way more accurate than NOAA is well-worth the money.
