well i took a few mins to look at the weather down there...im by no means an expert when it comes to weather at Cat...Dalton Boys would be your best bet...but if this was forecasted up here..id be all over it.
The low is moving out...should be gone shorty with the rain. AM should be fine..there is a 2-3' ground swell right now. Winds look to be relatively calm for the last 24 hours with no change in sight. Might see a little wind but i wouldnt worry about anything under 12kts. Windwaves should be at a min.
The buoys show a 1.6 windwave which is slightly choppy..but completely doeable.
Watch out when you come to the corners of the islands..Winds and swells tend to get very confused. I would probably leave around 1-3pm..
The wind seems to be shifting around 1pm comming straight out of the west. Making the wise decision to do your run to the backside early and make your way to the front side. You will have following seas on the way home so it should be nice...
Thats the weather from phishy...may not look as good as the weather girls on the news...but my weather is better

I'd tend to agree with Mitch. Today looks looks very do-able, and I might go tomorrow. I am very choosy about when I do my island runs in my 20' CC. I might make the run tomorrow if I can find a hardy soul who wants to sling iron or chuck flies at the boneheads on the east end frontside.
