weather window on Saturday?

[RIN]

Need to run our boat from Poole to the Hamble but none of the f/c this week have been very good. this is the inshore f/c for Saturday
"Outlook for the following 24 hours:
Wind
Variable becoming northwest 3 or 4, backing west or southwest 5 or 6, decreasing 3 or 4 later, then backing south or southeast later.
Sea State
Moderate occasionally rough"

Will it be that bad close in? or should we wait for next week?

Yeah, looks OK for an early start on an inshore route, and even when it swings round and picks up, it'll be a following sea. It's quite a changing forecast though, a bit of everything thrown in, so you wont know for sure till you get up in the morning and smell the air.
