Hey Ben,

I am still kinda novice at this whole thing. But does that mean that on Dec 29th - it would be a good day to go scuba diving?

KMD:

Just a word of warning on Friday. The wave forecast is on a sliding scale. You also need to look at what the color scale represents. Because Wednesday is going to be so "dookey" it will push up the scale of the other colors. So Friday gives us 6 to 9 foot significant swells. Pick your dive spots appropriately.

That being said.... I'm going diving on Friday!
