Vpass sent in a great link about the swell. This is critical to your fishing experience this time of year with the colder water. A short duration and big swell, and you could get washed out to sea.

Those who are still fishing now, or fishing cold water in the Spring would be well-advised to check it out every time before they go out there....thanks Vpass!
