Hey everyone,
My wife and I are going to hopefully be going out diving tomorrow in pompano. It's her first open water dives (about 12 in springs though) and I was hoping to find out two things.
1-where to get some surf reports so I can find out what the wave heights are like out where we will be diving.
2- an opinion of how much is too much when it comes to wave height. When I started diving I was younger and stupider and just followed whatever the captain said. He said dive, I dove (stupid, i know). Anyways, I got this quick report from wunderground.com but it is brief and not too good in terms of reliability i think. their website forecasts change too often for my tastes.
Tonight
Northeast winds 15 to 20 knots. Near shore...seas 4 to 6 feet. In the Gulf Stream...seas 4 to 6 feet building to 6 to 8 feet after midnight. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas. Slight chance of showers in the evening.
Friday
East winds 15 to 20 knots. Seas 5 to 7 feet. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas. Slight chance of showers through the day.
Friday Night
East winds 15 to 20 knots becoming 10 to 15 knots after midnight. Seas 3 to 5 feet. Intracoastal waters choppy in exposed areas. Chance of showers.
Saturday
Southeast winds 5 to 10 knots becoming south 10 to 15 knots in the afternoon. Seas 2 feet or less. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Chance of showers.
Saturday Night
Southwest winds 5 to 10 knots. Seas 2 feet or less. Intracoastal waters a light chop. Slight chance of showers.
Would the seas on Friday be too much for her first open water dives or is that about standard and normal?
Thanks everyone. I'll be on my phone checking here whenever I get the chance over the weekend
