I'm heading to Esperanza this weekend, and will post a report if we get out. What is the max winds that you guys would make you bail on your trip? I have outriggers on a classic Whaler, 28'LWL. I don't want to get too beat up either (out there with my 14yr old son). I think we were out in 15-20kts last year, and it was a slog after a while.
The warmer waters have moved offshore again according to Terrafin. I don't have Bouy Weather, so I'm relying on Environment Canada's marine forecast. It's a long way to go (Esperanza), and I'm willing to risk it and tough it out as I just won't have many opportunities to fish this year.

My threshold is 18 mph on the way out. If I can't do that it's not worth going IME. I think the water still looks good up there. It's still a heck of a lot shorter run than us folks South of you. I'm preparing for 60+ mile run if necessary tomorrow as the water seems to have moved off a bit down here as well. Weather tomorrow and Saturday for the Clayquot area looks stellar on buoyweather. It's go time!!!

Just an FYI.....if you don't have the subscription you CAN get the two day forecast for free. I find especially on the WCVI it MUCH more reliable than Env. Canada.
Zoom in where you are looking at.....click....and "tada"!! You get the 2 day forecast.

Here is the two day for clicking just offshore of Esperanza. (I don't have a subscription either) You can click anywhere on the map be it close in to Esperanza....or well offshore.

only prob with nootka and or esperanza is that it's hard to check buoyweather, etc without internet (cell hotspot) service... i don't think there's cell service anywhere out around there unless your in tahsis or something like that. not even sure if they have it there but imagine they might. maybe some of the lodges in that area are using a satellite hotspot?
I am interested in going out from Bamfield but my fishing partner is not available until Sunday. Is anyone thinking of going Sunday or, weather permitting, are any of you guys who are going Saturday interested in staying overnight. If yes, then we could head out in the late afternoon Saturday and join you.

I'm out for Friday or Saturday but I would consider an overnighter Saturday if the weather forecast was better.
Weather.... I do use buoy weather but I do like to see that EC is relatively on the same page. Don't for get to check the weather 5o-60 miles off shore on buoy weather just to get an idea of what kind of conditions are close to you. This would be the SE explorer region on EC. Always worth a check IMHO.
Good luck to you all. Calm seas

No reports? or no one went out?
