For those who have issues with sea sickness/motion sickness, the ocean has more waves than the Bay, being prepared will make sure it's an enjoyable experience.

Winds were moderately strong. We were on a smaller boat so the ride often felt choppy. But this was expected (I had been in touch with Captain Sean leading up to the trip), we never felt unsafe, and in fact, the kids felt the thrill of being on a fast boat in slightly stronger winds.

It was a little windy but the weather was beautiful. A warm afternoon led to choppy seas but it was nothing to be concerned about.

Itโ€™s a good intro to open water fishing. The waves arenโ€™t too high but thereโ€™s some rougher areas. Even if youโ€™re not actively catching fish, the surroundings are beautiful to sight see.
