We got out early today to beat the heat and humidity we've had all week. After one dive the winds were already up, as were the swells. We made one dive at the Hyperion Elevated Outfall Pipe off El Segundo then raced back home.
At thirty feet it was dark and dirty but at least the surge we battled through last time was gone. Among the few highlights was a spot with dozens of lobsters preparing for the molting/mating season. The water is still to warm at 67°.
