Not exactly the right flag for these wind speeds but you get the point.

The NWS has issued a gale warning for Friday night into Saturday night, and Sunday isn’t going to be much better with twenty plus mile per hour winds.  If you are surf fishing watch high tide, some of the beaches have wash outs that cut into the swales and will fill in fast.  The offshore winds may keep the waves at bay some.  If you are fishing the ASMA tournament this weekend watch the water and good luck to all the surf anglers.  Assateague Island  just fully reopened from tidal over wash during the full moon.  Casting should be easy in the heavy west winds this weekend, so there is that for a bonus.
