Alhambra today via kayak. Thermocline was around 25 feet deep, below that was bad vis and above was good. At incoming/high tide I had eight foot of visibility in 22 feet of water. Could be a good weekend before the seas pick up next week!
 
Dove Alhambra today at high tide. Long swim out to 25 feet viz was pretty good I'd say 8-10+ in places. Water temp 84 didn't really find anything.

With this storm rolling through, how long before the vis gets acceptable for toothing?
 
Probably middle of next week, unless you're into "Braille diving"!
