Crowd sourcing weather interpretation

Greetings - here is a first for me, crowd sourcing weather info. My plan is to leave Key West tomorrow and head up Hawks Channel - through Moser channel to Marathon. I have a couple of newbies on board and don't want to beat them up too bad. Looking at my weather apps it doesn't look too bad to travel (although not a perfect day).

Weather seems to be all about interpretation so I thought I would ask a couple of you to take a look at the route and let me know what you see.

Thanks!

Den

Den,
Tomorrow does look a bit marginal. Under the influence of a High, just after that front went thru, you'll have some northerly wind flow that could make it a tad rough. Friday seems like a much better choice, especially if you want a good ride for your passengers.


I've spend a ton of time diving on Looe Key (about the half way point) and running up and down that area in small (~25') boats, but when the wind picks up it can get sporty.

Checked the NWS digital wx and shows 15mph winds and 2 ft seas for Thursday. Friday looks much better, but prudent to check again later today, it might lay down a bit. The aviation wind charts show the same.
