Easterly onshore wind
This morning was beautiful but the wind has continued to build throughout the day and is now blowing pretty good at least 15-20 out of the ENE and is forecasted to blow all day tomorrow as well in the same direction dying down in the evening. It is a nor’aster by nature not the fierce type we’re used to thinking of when hearing nor’easter but a front coming from that direction blowing that cool air off the cool inshore water onto the hot shoreline creating the fog we’ve seen all summer. It is also very interesting how majority of the wind is offshore, inland there was no wind today, only along the coastline, but we’ll be curious to see if the strong east winds offshore blow some of that blue warm water in 1000 fathoms in closer up on the 100 line, and then in areas like the Norfolk the blue water that was on the 100 line could blow even further inshore, will be interesting to keep an eye on and track over the next few days. Saturday is looking beautiful and will be the day we get to see what the wind and front does to the water, will be a great day to get out and fish! The cobia could get blown even closer to shore, although they’re already being caught in crab pots, and off the bridge and from the surf, so they’re about as close as they get! The higher concentrations are still gonna be out at the wrecks 3-10 miles off the coast. Tight lines we’ll check in tomorrow.
