A great day for the beach, diving or not. 1-2’ surf makes an easy entry but seaweed and other debris create visibility issues until well away from shore. Expect moderate surge and 4-6’ viz until the first reef, where it improves slightly to a cloudy 8-12’ - clear enough to see lobsters and coral but not enough to navigate easily. Take extreme caution with boaters and jet skis; holiday weekend brings scores of unskilled, uncaring operators near the beach. The Beach Diver limits surface swims and remains at depth as long as possible to avoid contact.
