When you listen to the Marine weather they will tell you wave hights on the
sound and in the ocean.

Heading out on the sound to do some kayaking in the near future and I have
a
question. This situation is completely hypothetical: If the National
Weather
Service forecasts winds of 15-20kts from the north on Long Island Sound
and
wave heights of say....2-3ft, does this mean that these max wave heights
will
be on the north shore of Long Island, considering the wind direction? So
when
I read NWS wave height forecasts for the sound, should I take off or add
to
them based on which shore I am on relative to the wind direction? Thanks
in
advance to anyone that is able to help.
