If the weather forcast is correct, the seas will be too rough.

How is the weekend looking for calm seas?

Not looking pretty before the weekend, but as the weekend progresses, especially on Sunday, the seas should really lay down!

I'm headed to the Keys tomorrow afternoon to dive all weekend with Conch Republic Divers, so I'll be praying for the seas to lay down quicker than the forecast predicts - Wish me luck!

I will be in orlando for the weekend, but if you get to dive the keys you should give a report on the dives....

The weather also says this for today...

Today
Northeast winds 15 to 20 knots. Seas 6 to 8 feet near shore

But it's less than 1 foot right now.

Yet, the view of the beach from Beachplace looks pretty nice:

Greater Fort Lauderdale Beach Cam


Just goes to show that all dives should be canceled at the dock!

Looking out the window... It's still flat.

From the edge of the sand report: small waves breaking right at shore but the sun is out lighting up the water. This is my favorite time of day to dive. Were it not for a conference call at 2 & a lack of sleep last night, I'd seriously consider going out for a bit.
