Gulf Shores/ Orange Beach

[gulfdiver1970]

Hey guy`s!! and gals....anyone up for the jetties or beach dive on 1/3?..you local guys think the conditions will be ok?..just saw a report didn`t look to bad but i `d love to hear a more seasoned opinion....

Surf was still iffy today, depends on how silty the sites are at the moment. The Whiskey is less silty than some of the others, if it has a chance to settle tomorrow, it might be good Saturday.

The jetties would be a safer bet due to influx of gulfwater at high tide, if the tides are working out well atleast.

yeah i just saw the tides are 4:38am hi and 3:08pm low ... i dunno maybe if we hit it early in the am might be able to make something of it...any who..guess we`ll just have to see

Surf has layed down to nearly nothing, visibility right off the beach was rancid though, maybe a foot. The north winds should continue for a few days, maybe by Saturday or Sunday visibility will improve alot off of Gulf Shores.

P'Cola Beach would probably be a little safer off the beaches if you simply must hit a shore dive in saltwater.
