Alphonse / St François

7.1OF 10

Day

low

Giant trevally should be the day — flood St François and the lagoon — bones first, then a GT on the rim. Work the leeward shore — fly gets harder.

19 mph SE · incoming

Where

  • St François flats · 7.3hard flat on a incoming tide is a classic match.
  • Alphonse lagoon · 7.3hard flat on a incoming tide is a classic match.

Upper Laguna / Baffin

6.9OF 10

Day

low

Speckled trout should be the day — Nine Mile and the Badlands guts, not a wade across the flat.

10 mph SSE · low slack

No live gauge this hour — the printed tide is the forecast.

Where

  • Land Cut · 7.1channel gut on a low slack tide is a workable match.
  • Baffin Bay rocks · 6.9serpulid reef on a low slack tide is a workable match.
  • TX - Kaufer-Hubert Park (Baffin doorway) · 6.9serpulid reef on a low slack tide is a workable match.
