Is this a good time for Vandenburg?

CAPTAIN SINBAD · Feb 21, 2011

I was thinking of coming over for a couple of days of diving on Vandenburg and was thinking if Beginning of March would be a good time? I have heard that this could be a very tricky dive and you can get conditions that are very good and then get conditions that are very bad depending on the "season." What exactly is meant by season in this case?

Thanks -

March and especially April are total crap shoots down here due to cold fronts still pushing down. If you do decide to come down it could be fabulous, and it could be 6'-10' seas.
Good luck to you.

Typically lets the gear dry out from April 1st to the end of May.

Cold fronts, at least the leading edge of them, is not so bad for the Vandy, as it is protected by the islands. It's that southeast wind in anticipation of the front that gets ya. The weather this winter has been very mild, kinda like 2005. I don't really want a repeat of 2005.
