Don't think the weather will be nice, however, anyone interested at meeting at 8:30AM sharp for a dive? Need a buddy - going to be looking for lobster
 
It has been extremely rough all week, with tomorrow just as bad. Expect zero vis, large waves, rip currents, lots of surge at the bottom, very difficult entry and exit. No lobsters at LBTS anyway because everyone goes there and it is fished out. Think you might want to reconsider . . . .
 
This coming Tuesday looks like it might be good.
Deerfied Beach, Florida Surf Forecast and Surf Report
The water will be still milky inshore but I think the bugs will be everywhere shallow.
They typically are after storms like this with extended wave action.
I have limited in 5 minutes in water less than 10' deep many times.
I have grabbed a lot of bugs in 6' of viz right off the beach over the years.
Proper buddy diving it isn't though.
It can hard to keep together in crap viz' during the bug grabbing free for all.

On vacation until December 1st.

Good at LBTS?
 
I think Chug summed it up as for the vis (after a long rough spell it takes several days to get beyond milky). He seems to know his stuff about the lobsters, though, so if you want to try it in the conditions he describes, can't hurt.

You got a shot at it.
But I would hit Pompano up around 12th street or a little farther north personally.

Broke the icebergs out of the chest freezer today.
Limited on Bugs, Hogfish, Lionfish, Elk, and Venison without even leaving the house.
