Does anyone know of a web sight that has the wave height and wind for just the Bay Bridge going from Virginia Beach across to Kiptopeke. We have heard reports of 4 to 5 then got to the bridge and it was only 1 to 2 so not sure where they were taking their info from. Most of our VA fishing will be around the bridge so wanted to find a web sight where we could get the right info.
Thanks.

Chrome and black 25 stretch. We just bounced polls. Why I don't know but no one was trolling the polls inside the bridge. Everyone was outside and on the ends of the islands where the chop was. Seen a few that were live baiting on the inside we went around but not that meny. Right at slack tide is when they really picked up. Cp's birthday party today so family thing. Will be out there next weekend for sure....:)
