fnfalman, due to an emergency at work, i might have to cancel. i don't know the final word yet, but still interested?

I will be willing to take his spot if the dive is going to happen....

I think that I'll have to pass on this spot. I have a bad feeling that I will have to work through this entire weekend as well.

 

[pluckydks]

That's some really great news! Hopefully they didn't test it out with a sumo wrestler again.

The swell models I am looking at show 2-3ft inside the shadow of Catalina, including PV. It could be a lot like last weekend, with big swells outside the islands but relatively flat swells inside. I hope so for you. Despite the doom and gloom forecasts, including a 7ft hi to low tide swing mid day, all we got was wind driven surface current, and some chop on the ride back.

 

[pluckydks]

ok, so it looks like i can go again. just have to hope for some good weather and good diving. sorry for the tease.

Welcome back! As Mike stated the forecasts for the big swells are all outside of the channel and we're pretty well protected on the coast and at Catalina. I'll find out on Friday of we're still green to go, we're still way too far out to be getting scared. So let's all take a deep breath, relax, and hope for the best.
