They call it Stormy Monday but Wednesday is just as bad.

We planned a day of diving on the south side of Palos Verdes while we made a fuel run to Los Angeles Harbor. The swell models were looking favorable but as we left Redondo Beach the wind was already up early this morning. We made a dive at White Point Rock before heading to the fuel dock. Our second dive was scrubbed as we found nothing but white caps all the way home.

At White Point we had twelve feet visibility on the rock, which is covered with a brown scum that has reduced the amount of marine life on what was once a bountiful site. The temperature on the reef was 61° with 70° on the surface.

Your photos are awesome. But was it really that bad? Didn't the swell model have it 0-1 today?

On Sunday I spotted a juvenile Thresher, and three weeks ago spotted an aggregation of baby blues. Whats not to like?

I going to be out again on Friday, and the model is again saying 0-1 foot. Woohoo!
 
The swells we small but the wind waves were 2-3 feet and we were hitting them head on most of the way home. The water was also pretty green again after clearing up the past couple of weeks. I'm hoping for a decent day soon.
