With 15-20 mph West winds on Friday, would it be better to fish the beaches instead of the Bridge Friday? Haven't seen any ocean reports. Winds are supposed to settle down by Saturday morning so we plan hitting the CBBT and vicinity then. Staying in Sandbridge so we can at least look out at the ocean and check the conditions.

You will be fine within 3 miles off the Ocean front Friday.-

Its supposed to gust up to 30 knots,I doubt you want to be 3 miles out in a 6 foot tight chop.The land will buffer the seas to only about a half mile or so.The good thing about the West winds is it will cause cooler water to upwell and should cool the water down several degrees.
