I know conditions change daily and sometimes hourly but statistically speaking, what are the best months for vis in Monterey. Thanks TAC

Late December, if we don't have a storm going through.

Fall and early Winter before the storms hit hard seem to be best.
Late Spring and early Summer seem to often get "blooms" of algae and associated plankton that create a murky layer that is no fun to dive in. Seems like the blooms are worse in Monterey compared to Carmel

Well all I can tell you is I did some dives in Monterey December and January with great visibility over 70ft. Two weeks ago I hit the same locations in Monterey with under 10ft. vis.

The amazing vis in Feb was the weekend of Feb 12th. It was my first dive after my certification, and we did Otter Cove. 30 - 40ft vis, with about 10 seals circling us. Best vis I've seen so far. There's been a few 20ft or so at Lovers Point, which I think has the best chance of having good vis because it's protected, especially if you head to the right from the beach of Lovers 1 where you get the all the orange sea weed covering everything.
