The graphics are arranged by date. Wave heights are color-coded. Arrows indicate flow direction.

Aloha-

Yes- conditions were outstanding today with 150+ ft vis on the YO-257 & zero current- we made it through both the wrecks and past the San Pedro approx 300 yards! What a great dive!

It has actually been extremely nice over the last three days. I do hope the weather will hold out over the weekend.

Enjoy-

Interesting wave models and graphs. Geez, it was so long ago that I had to do computerized simulation models of waves hitting land (university days). Don't remember much of the applied math from those days. Computers are also much more powerful these days to collect, analyze, and simulate...

Please hold the good weather and calm waters till I come in 7 weeks.
