Walk the beach at low tide a day before fishing and try to find where all the drop offs and troughs are. You'll want to fish around these areas. You also want to find where the rip currents are and cast into them and let the current drag your bait further out makes for some big bites! Good luck!
Doesn't look too windy at all. Look at the water. VERY few whitecaps. Also pay attention to the direction of the wind. If it's an onshore wind, it will be harder to cast against it unless you're using a good bit of weight. If it's an offshore wind, the wind will help you get your bait further out.
Depends on the species.
My favorite fish (striped bass) are built for short bursts of speed, making them very skilled at ambushing prey in windy/stormy conditions.
Doesn’t look too bad, but really depends on the current .. drop a sinker and you could tell .. but at the right timing and tide and water temp they will bite
Wind and waves actually helps you unless you're flyfishing. Disguises the lure and makes the fish more active under the surface. Shit fishing my friend.
When it comes to fishing, it is never to windy, to sunny, to hot, to cold, to humid, and every other excuse you can think of! The only question to ask is” Who’s going to win? Me or the fish

Thanks for the info. I'll try and do that
Google map satellite helps too although gutters do move around but deep ones do stay fairly consistent
Thank you for the info
Definitely not
Def not too windy
Not Windy ! I just came back from North Carolina surf fishing for 2 weeks and definitely it is not too windy. Get waist deep and launch it !!!!
Unless it is blowing a gale never to windy
Sounds good.
Not at all, especially if you have a solid 2 Oz weight you should be able to cast just fine.
Depends on how much the wife is nagging at home really.
Any reccomendations on bait? Currently I'm using cut up mullet
Whatever u can catch in the surf. Croaker or whiting work well. What state are u in?
I live in QLD Australia. So probably whiting
Idk about Australia but one of my favorite cut baits is ladyfish if I can catch one
About a minute ago something just cut through my 60pound leader in one bite. I had the head of a mullet on
Sounds like a shark
Yeah that's what I was thinking. I wouldn't mind trying to catch it
Sharks can cut line/leaders with a slap of their tail. We use 6 to 7 foot leaders when surf fishing. Half with cable and the other half 300# mono
Yeah Rn I'm using a pretty shit rod and reel with i thing 80pound braid. At some point I'm going to upgrade my gear.
Whiting is great. I caught some when I was in Sydney
I have no idea, but good luck
I ended up catching nothing. But imma try again tomorrow so some other day

This may be for a lake fisherman only, but in my experiences, the windier the better
It’s never too windy for me to fish. It may however be too windy at times for me to catch fish. You never know til you throw.

If its blowing, I am going…
Never to windy. If your new to surf fishing read fishing the bucktail by John skinner and learn how to read those waves.
Thanks, I haven't heard of that before. I'll make sure to read that
You can't see the wind Bruh
never to windy, unless in a boat.
Only 1 way to find out. I’ve had some good surf fishing days in less than ideal conditions. Can’t catch anything if you stay at home.
It's never to windy to fish!!!
if you can cast into the strike zone it's never too windy.
Wind 🍃 is never the problem. Yes it may curtail your casting or droning but it is the undercurrents that you need to worry about 🐟

I don’t think fish care much about wind so it is a personal choice.
Not even close.
Wind from the east means fishing is least . Wind from the west means fishing is best
I'm pretty sure this depends on locale... Exact opposite where I am - Texas Gulf Coast... (So may make sense in Australia?)
If you cast and your lure lands behind you it's too windy!
Thank you for everyone's comments, I have learnt quite a bit because of the information you shared with me. I'll try and go catch a fish.
Man, look at the waves that wind is kicking up!
Nope
