best wind direction for pier fishing

What is the best wind direction to watch for when planning a pier fishing trip?

I like a southeast. Especially this time of year.

anything from the south is nice... prefer a SE for ling.

Why <U>from</U> the SE?? I thought winds from the N calmed the waters down.

it also even better to have se wind w/ the current moving from west-east which makes them swim higher in the water column because there's less drag on the fish

and plus, if it's 6-8 ft seas, we only have to worry about dataman and outcast looking from boats... the best days for cobia fishing are the nastiest.

besides the migration patterns, fish generally bite better with chop on the water. you can almost hang up the king bite when you've got a strong north wind

Is this true for most other types of fish as well when seeking them out in the surf - whether from piersor jetties? Or just those you want on top?

Good info - thanks.
