+**Peter Marcus's Advice in Bellingham**
+) See any dark lines right on the horizon which isn't very far away from us because we are only sitting about four feet above the surface, maybe a pleasure/fishing boat pounding into the waves and wind in the distance.
+) A strong wind approaching will have a mist line above it, almost always there, moisture swept up above the surface like a very faint see-through fog.
+) Clouds….sneak a peak up, compare them to a permanent object,(different shapes tell different stories), like a surfski paddler sitting on a rock….get a feel for how fast the cloud is traveling.
+) okay, maybe four things….wave shape and pattern, 15 mph SE might have that Post Point chop, especially going over the reef right their, but if their is a little bigger mini roller under certain sets of waves or under that slop, it might be suggesting something from the distance…..so resort back to 1)
