Avoid any NNW to E over 10-15 if possible. North wind opposes the gulf stream current and can create nasty waves. I use two websites to check the conditions when I am crossing. Windguru and Sailflow. Both are very good and the Sailflow map is usually dead on 24 hrs ahead. The NOAA forecast is worthless, it is almost always worse than what they say. I think 2-4 is the max forecast you should cross in, unless the waves have a very long period like 8 or more seconds, then they are big swells and are fun ride ride on.

Thanks Guys!!

Pompano state launch off of I95

Is this the best place to launch and leave truck? anything closer?

Haulover is closer but Pompano is less ghetto and usually less missing parts from your truck when you get back. Pompano is 5 minutes from Hillsboro Inlet. Google map 2974 NE 14th St, Pompano Beach, FL 33062.

I might also suggest running up to Freeport, Grand Bahama Island for a few days from Bimini. Mighta as well get the full experience.

How many miles to freeport? What marina would yo reccomend?

Easy hour.
