Since the spring weather didn't cooperate on the weekends I could make the drive down to PINS this spring it has now been 10 month since my last visit. I want to try and make it down for a few days this weekend. I looked at a weather report and it looks like low rain chances and sunny.

Does anyone have wind forecast or a recent report on weed, beach and water quality?

Rusty , the rule of thumb for the 55 years I have been going to the island is 1) if you are coming to fish, the surf will be large, choppy and full of seaweed, 2) if you are coming to surf, the surf will be low, smooth, clear, no seaweed. So load up the surfboard, but hide the fishing gear underneath some stuff. They say God can see all, but I dont think so. This works.

Depends. 10 years ago I'd gone down with the forcast we have as of today..... 25 sustained SSe with 35 gusts and 4-5 foot 6sec rollers....basically if it didn't saying "huge front blowing through you're stupid to go" I'd go....Sometimes I'd go anyway. Some good trips some never again trips.

It's gonna be windy. But if it's not windy you're gonna get carried away by mosquitoes that can stand flat footed and crap in a dump truck...pick your battles there.

Now I'm old and no fun...

If you don't like fishing in the wind, the Texas coast ain't your bag, period.
It's the simple nature of the place, and anything under 15 mph by 1200 hours is pretty mild for the area.

Donnie is dead on though: when I used to race catamarans all over the country, it was usually light to DEAD in places which are usually windy, including Corpus! If I showed up at the same places with my fishing boat, windy as hell!!!!😤😢
