Dive reports with beach/weather conditions

[CMOST]

Site Location Alhambra
Water Temp 67
Vizibility: 1 ft if that.
Tide state if you know it: low
Wind direction and strength: out of the east gentle breeze
Surf: Nice and calm
Presence of drift algae: Plenty of this crap!

Went out this morning with Da Nizz and Viz was crappy! Still better than staying home with the "honey do lists"!! Found a few small ones but you had to be right on the bottom to see anything.

I agree with cmost. The vis was horrible. I lost him twice in the first 5 min. Its probably best to dive in your bathtub until vis improves.

Looks like I need to get out with FL West!

Nice. Looks like the beach will be blown out for most of the week.....

I'm sitting here looking at the Gulf on Casey Key, and from the looks of things it will be quite a while before things settle down enough to see anything on the bottom. It's as about as rough as I have seen it over the last 4 winters. Maybe it will stir up a lot of new stuff.

I use a surf report site and they were saying overhead depth waves today - should stir things up nicely - As you said - hopefully it will expose some new finds

OK - I knew it was going to be crappy - but I am heading to Devil's Den tomorrow - I may come back down Sunday and see if it has calmed.

in at 1:30pm
Depth 9-19ft
Temp - 59 - much colder now!
Vis - 1-2ft mostly - sometimes less
weeds - none
tide - outgoing I think
Wind - light from the NE

I could tell the vis was crap all the way out. All I got were a few small teeth - one tiny Meg (I have three tiny ones now).

The bottom has been well stirred up by the big waves lately - after a few days it should be good hunting. Forecast is for it to stay flat for several days

The sea was cold my friend. Brought two tanks, only used one. Wore a 3/2 full, with a 5 mil long sleeve shorty over that, and a 2 mil hood. My non insulated dive gloves were the weakest link.

Found one small 1-3/4" meg
