any predictions on the vis

[saintsfan]

this weekend after the rain we are supposed to get the next 2 days,any one think it would be worth it trying to dive.I am not that familiar with diving conditions after a heavy rain, how long generally for water to clear up.

Forecast is for 10-16 foot waves by Thursday http://www.wrh.noaa.gov/afos/LAX/SRF/LAXSRFLOX Big waves mean lots of sand stirred up in the water and it will take a few days for that to settle out.

Friday looks terrible around Pt Fermin http://cdip.ucsd.edu/models/forecast/fp_lac_000.gif

Then there is the water polution issue, diving not recommened for 3 days near a storm drain after a rain.

Unfortunatly, it looks like there may be anouther storm comming after this one. Oh well, it is the rainy season.

We made a dive last night out of Dana Point. Maybe 6" of visability at 40', even with my 2-50 watt lamps. It's time to let the gear dry out for a few days.
