One foot waves are barely large enough to break on the sandbars approaching shore, and most of the calm sea presents us clear, refreshing (77F) water to enjoy on a bonus winter dive day. Mild surge and sometimes strong current await at 25’ depth, but it is the current that maintains our good visibility today. Lobsters are fewer, and one must measure carefully to avoiding bagging shorts, but legal size limits are available to the diligent. Diving will be better today than any time this weekend, so enjoy if you can.
