Whos going where this week.

[MikeJacobs]

I was doubtful because of the forecasts, but tonight the wind shifted to the south so that it's coming from the SE - that means that it could be in prime position (west & northwest) for the holiday!!!

The wind is already calming down and the breeze is warm... fingers, toes and eyes crossed here...

I'm diving Boynton. Seas were 3-5 today, the wind seemed to be slowing, though still from the East. Todays trip.... 1 out of 5 passengers got sea sick, but did not puke and made both dives. Trooper he was. Vis was 70+. Water temp 73. I will continue to dive Boynton, suffering through dive after dive to bring you guys the information you need to make well informed diving decisions. Just doing my part.

lol well, Fred, don't forget that you missed a great day of eating & diving in spite of those forecasts a couple of weeks ago. One of us even did three dives.

Christmas was supposed to be east, and we had a beautiful west wind - I took the diveyak out pretty far down south that day and never had trouble with wind nor current.

This morning the wind was laying down, already past the "east" point and headed toward the "south" point. It was quite warm. There's no way it's coming back... that can't happen (it's always clockwise in this hemisphere).

Of course when the winds shift the seas lay down.

I gave up reading the forecasts about a month ago when I realized that my "predictions" based on NOAA intel were always bad.

The only question is when it will hit "north" and how fast it will become another northeastern. Therefore, the weekend is questionable but I'm expecting to dive Friday for sure... that's a bold prediction, I know... now let's see what really happens lol...

NOAA should call US for the short term forecast lol... trust me, diving over the next few days should improve.

If it was up to me we would have great diving weather everyday.
I'm going this weekend some where I just don't know where yet.
I couldn't come down last time cause I had to stick close to home.
But soon I will be coming down again. My brother lives in hollywood on the beach so a place to stay is no problem. Soon very soon Mike.

Well if anyone gets a dive together this weekend please let me know. I am in West Palm and dying to get out in the water. I would like to try a shore dive down in the Lauderdale area if anyone is going out. Give a yell.
