The ponds are setting up nice for thursday.
Temps in the upper 40's to low 50's with plenty of sun. Gradient looks strong enough to bring some nice steady east winds as well.

Low tide is at 1 pm so there should be plenty of shallow flat water goodness

High tide of 8.8 feet at 0545, Low of 1.5 feet at 1230, back up to 5.5 feet by sunset at 1645. You guys thinking hitting it really early, or hitting it later & staying to dark? It seems like it's not so good when the tide is below 2.5 feet, or am I wrong there??? Maybe I need to get a skim board! Very Happy Regardless, I'm in!

Its great on a skim board on the inlet side...but when the tide gets that low its still great on the south east end of the beach.
