Maybe tides but looking windy for a crossing Saturday?? - you want near perfect conditions, a nice big high and then time prior to the crossing for the sea state to settle  What you planning to go in?

Have you done it before?
Its a lovely little island, the swinge north of the island can get lumpy and don't forget the infamous overfalls round the back 
Have fun

Think you must have some "interesting" boating buddies[emoji848]
But I can see how it would make a crossing more interesting!
