well the river almost always has dirty water down here.

the reason wind direction is important to us is the water clarity can go from clear to chocolate milk with certain wind directions so that's what matters.

its not very common about wave action as there are always more protected areas you can go but when the water gets dirty its dirty everywhere.

the Mississippi river is the predominant land mass that separates the coast into two zones as far and how wind affects water clarity and so if you are east of the Mississippi then a east wind makes the water dirty and if you are west of the Mississippi then a west wind makes the water dirty, north and south don't matter much but north will give you cleaner water then south.

so if you have an east wind fish the marsh on the west side of the Mississippi and if its a west wind then fish the marsh on the east side, if the winds are 5 mph or less it wont matter since that is not enough to dirty the water
