Effect of "Arthur"

[Strima77]

Looks like the storm off the SE FL that may become "Arthur" is stirring things up. I was planning on diving Pompano on Wednesday, but don't want to drive over from SW FL if its going to be real rough, or low viz. Any guess as to conditions then, even assuming the storm will head north on Tuesday? Thanks for any input.

Get Magic Seaweed on your phone.. it is pretty accurate about surf conditions. Even though it's a surfing app, it's pretty dang good for beach diving.

at the moment, Magicseaweed looks wrong. Tuesday and Wednesday will not be great dive days. Wednesday may be better depending on how fast the storm moves.
We can expect high seas, intense squalls, heavy thunderstorms and very strong wind gusts.
FYI....I happen to be a Florida Emergency Manager. My NWS office seems to think the weather will be bad so I ain't diving until Thursday!

yup...Friday and the weekend looks good for diving. In Florida that is.

it's tracking towards New York (or close enough)

Keeping my fingers crossed that Thursday is OK: I can't go out on Friday.

It is a west wind. the swells are small now in jupiter... I doubt the storm is going to be much of a problem in PB county.

I am flying down to lbts on Thursday. Hope all is well and we can get wet.
