I can't seem to find anything for Port Renfrew on the weather forecast/wind prediction. Carmanah seems to be the closest on the map....would this be accurate?

So....what wind speed should I stay at home with my feet up on the couch...at what point does it get nasty out there....particularly for a novice!? I'm looking at Race Rocks right now and its at 30knots...[V]
and how many wobbly pops you have the night before.quote:And for me and my relatively little boat, my rule is that anything above 15kts starts to be not so much fun. That's my go / no go rule...and sometimes lower when it's 5 am, cold and dark out, and I really want to just go back to bed.

Hahah, believe me, I've always got a few wobbly pops on hand! Thanks for all the advice and links...very helpful. However, I'm looking at weather forecasts, eg today:
TODAY...VARIABLE WIND TO 10 KT BECOMING W 5 TO 15 KT. WIND WAVES 1 OR 2 FT. W SWELL 2 FT AT 14 SECONDS. CHANCE OF LIGHT RAIN THIS MORNING.
Wind waves and Swell, what height would you recommend for a novice guy in a 17.5 ft boat not to go out in? 2 ft doesn't sound much to me...??
