We're hoping that something will come up after 4pm locally. Huge minus tide. It would be such a waste.

Depressing

Wicked high tide at 2pm. NOAA station on the jetty showed 6-7kts all afternoon.
Sucked it up and headed for Ona beach. Buugy tires hit sand at 4pm.
Watched the beach just get wider and wider. GPS showed 1100 feet of beach at 6:30, and not a breath of wind.

NOT FAIR!!!!
Will just have to wait and see what the rest of the week brings.

Just plain depressing I say!
