The Weekend Effect...It's Back....

[mccabejc]

At the risk of being chastized by our resident dive cheerleader...

If you're planning on diving this Sunday, keep your eye on the surf reports. Right now there's a storm in the Aleutians that they are predicting will be delivering head high to 3ft overhead (that's 9-10 ft) waves along west facing beaches on Sunday afternoon. And it looks like they're saying the swell might increase fairly suddenly during midday Sunday, so be careful.

Here's a groovy animation from Scripps showing a simulation of the storm over the next few days:

If I remember correctly, you said the same thing for last weekend.:06:

BTW, Shaw's cove was GREAT last Sunday! 15-20 ft vis.

Hey, I don't make the predictions, I just give folks a heads-up when the pros do.

Yep - wetsand.com predicts great conditions Saturday with a monster swell coming in Sunday. Thanks for the heads up Jim.

20 to 25 foot visibility welcomed Jeff Shaw, Mo2vation and me into the Redondo canyon tonight.

27 centimeter wavelets tickled the shore.

Baby rays scootered all over the shallows.

Octopuses roiled and slithered about, road-kill-flat one minute, frilly and inflated the next.

We started as near to the grungy pier as we dared, sliced down to the 50-70fsw zone, and wandered over the miracle-mud-mile, finally bumping square into the infamous monument. Like a hole-in-one from a hundred yards off. Double cool!

Best viz I've seen in the canyon in about 6 months.

Find a great buddy and go diving!

HooRah!!!

No squid sighted yet, but my ExtraSquidSensory Perception says they're out there... and they're coming right for us! After the first full moon in December, start looking.

Hmmm... Catalina is not as affected by these events as you folks are on the "Big Island" over there. Diving the Park Sat and the King Neptune Sun and Mon so I'm hoping the predictions are wrong. By the way, conditions were were quite good after the big rains last weekend. Decent visibility (35') even two days afterwards and reports yesterday were 50' vis.
