Dec 13th Beach Diving Lauderdale by the Sea

[Scuba_Jenny]

The 50% forecast is looking better.
Here is the link to the marine forecast. Not bad. I have dived in much better, but surely not the worse- and with divers from Scubaboard!

.SATURDAY...NORTHEAST TO EAST WINDS 10 TO 15 KNOTS. SEAS 2 TO 4 FEET EXCEPT 6 FEET IN THE GULF STREAM. INTRACOASTAL WATERS A MODERATE CHOP.

NOAA doesn't know about the Jinx. And I won't be there to counter act it.
It would almost be worth the trip just to watch.
4 ft sea can mean 6 ft waves crashing the shore.
You may want to watch the tide. Slack tide should be between 8 and 10 am. If you try it around then the seas should be calmer.
After 10 am the tide is incoming with an east wind might not be to bad either but early am might be a challenge. Be careful.
Just a suggestion.

Fred You are so Bad!!! And just what jinx are you talking about may I dare ask????
WE got Kosh coming who brings good weather, AND originally set this dive up... last time we had decent weather down here was when he was here...

Hey Jen:

After last weeks 3-5 footers ( which I might say you took like a natural ), 2 - 4 footer will be cake!

See ya Saturday!

I Hope you guys have a great time.
I was serious about the tides though. It does make a differance.

Seems like no one really pays attention to tides down here like they do up north. Then again, Fla. has all these nice beaches where you can walk right into the water without climbing over the rocks. Nice!! Can't wait for Sat's dive!

Jenny, I think Fred is referring to Mike's post about not jinxing the outing by planning too much for it (or planning for the opposite of what we want to happen).

It sounds like the weather may be kind to us (I'm sure it's not any of my doing tho!). Hope to see everyone on Saturday. You'll be able to recognize me - I'm the one without the tan!

There are places where tides are critical and places where they aren't.
