Hello,
I booked a trip down to Key Largo this weekend (January 8-10) in the hopes of escaping the winter chill up here in the north. But now the weather forecast is showing me highs in the 50s during the day and lows in the 30s at night. The National Weather Service has even issued an official warning for the area.
I'm a little bummed because I was looking forward to thawing out a bit, but I'm more concerned with the diving we have planned.
My question: when a cold front like this moves in, does it usually mess up the diving conditions? Can I expect lower water temps, high seas, low vis, or worse...a no-go on diving? Or should I just bring a jacket for the boat and enjoy the reef as usual?
I understand that conditions in the winter are generally not as good as the rest of the year. I also understand that they will vary by the day and are impossible to predict, I'm looking for generalities for when particularly cold weather passes through FL.
Thanks,
Darren
