But you are in a good spot as you can go ashore with your binoculars and look out over the straits. I have crossed before at daybreak and also at mid afternoon. Remember too that if the forecast is giving you wave heights at the various weather stations, it will be in meters, not feet. Makes a big difference.
Thank You. We are staying put till Saturday morning. It is thunder and lightning right now.....
