I passed on one of those a few weeks ago. I really wanted to go in, I had a broken leg. The wind went fom 0-30 in nothing flat, waves 2-3 seconds apart. We turned around and headed for deep water, took a beating and went to the next port. i called 14.3 and asked for a weather report, they said we had 0-5kts light and variable. We had 10 foot on the beam by the time we go our storm jib up. Local phenom I guess.
