Squid still running???

[Diver_Jan]

Anyone know if the squid are still running??? My son and I want to do a night dive at Redondo either on Tuesday or Wednesday night. We are planning on being there around 7pm.

If interested in joining us, PM me.

If the squid are not running, we will see those in OC at SOCDC Mtg Wednesday night. Everyone is welcome!!!

More like doing the backstroke through the soup that is Redondo Canyon...

I think. Hard to tell what they were in the fine viz we had last week. :11:

If anyone knows if Claudette's mighty squidfest is back (sans soup) I'd like to take another go this week.

As of last Wednesday, it looks like the mass run is over. We found patches of 2's - 10's. The only thousands we saw were the dead. You'll still be able to see lots of eggs and the marinelife that enjoys eating them. Its worth the dive.

I'm lighting incense and chanting as I type this....but the next full moon will be March 25th...might be hopeful again then. Even though it will be late in the season, there have been thick squid sightings into April according to Marty Snyderman's book, "California Marine Life."
I'm up (down?) for a Vet's dive Thursday night if the conditions continue improving. Anyone?

Though many friends will retort, "Models, schmodels," for what it's worth ...

Redondo is sometimes less affected than other sites, but it still might be iffy.

I appreciate the link, Frank O...iffy but worth watching....swells have been... ahem... exciting for a few days.

Yesterday, you could walk on the surfboards from Redondo to Palos Verdes and not get your feet wet. I think every surfer dude in SoCal was in the water. The swell was out of the West and 4' was common. Until the swell drops, you are going to find limited vis in the canyon and difficult entry/exits at Vets.

Thanks for the report peops. Hmmm...4' swells (ah, did that come out right?), ok for me, but not for my newly ow cert son!!! He's not quite the beach divin dude (diva, in my case) that his mom is!

The dive club meeting is looking better, we shall see.

Swell is down, today - 2ft.

Here's a useful link:
