Slightly Delayed Viz Report

Yea, yea... Didn't really get this one posted in a timely manner. Sorry about that, but having said that, Saturday at Service Club was a solid 1 to 3 feet of viz with water temps all the way up to 70 in places. Didn't find anything good.

Sunday, we did three dives off of Spanish Rocks. We use the rocks when viz gets really low down south, the sugar sand seems to settle out of the water a bit faster. Viz was 4 to 8 feet and pretty decent. We did three dives and certified 4 new divers! Congrats to Franklin, Matt, Alex and Fred (and Jenna for getting her dad to go diving).

One resource you may want to bookmark for longer range forecasts for beach diving is Magic Seaweed, http://magicseaweed.com/Venice-Beach-Surf-Report/58/detailedLongRange/us/. The site is very accurate. The only issue I have found is sometimes when the wind swings around to the east, they will show a larger swell than what we see coming form the south and north. If anything, conditions tend to be a little better than shown. Their long range forecast is very accurate. Greg
