Water will be rough, visibility will suck, a good weekend to do something else

Yes, was at the beach this AM. these conditions will persist all weekend, and now they are talking tropical weather on top of the Northeast winds.

Would Blue Heron Bridge be bad too? Not sure how the rain/weather would effect the viz there.

I'm all for diving, but this weekend seems like it'd be pretty rough. I don't think visibility would be zero, but the surge and current would have you swimming in circles.
It happened to me, and that wasnt even in waves this big.

It is absolutely an option.
The world will be there this weekend.
If you are just crying for a dive, go for it and enjoy.
Actually, I ought to bring my beer there and watch the festivities, it's probably going to be more entertaining than the average boat ramp on a early summer holiday weekend.
