Laine,
Please keep in mind that these forecasts are just that: a forecast. Much like our esteemed hurricane predictors and other weather experts, these are their guesses based on their many tools, models, etc.
Many a time we have planned offshore trips when forecasts called for winds of 5 to 10 and seas of 2' to 3' (or less) only to be met with significantly different (worse) conditions.
