We did a scooter dive out of Fort Ross yesterday with decent vis and the best part was NO surge and NO current what so ever. Found some rock structures that were 30 feet high and loaded with Metridiums. The entire top of the rocks were white. We got checked out by a very large Sea Lion, who cruised by only a few feet away, then disappeared into the abyss. We saw tons of fish. The area is teaming with blues. Lots of greenlings too. We saw a lot of small fish fry, and even a swam of krill.
By the time we exited the water it was late and we were alone. The fog had come in and cooled it off. We learned hauling a 100lb scooter out with doubles on your back is hard to do even as a buddy team. We kept sinking into the gravely sand too far. Oh and speaking of the beach, the high tides and big waves have changed the beach substantially. We made it a short dive to get out before dark but left the park at 5:40 pm. 79 feet, 70 minutes, and a warm 50 degrees.
Probably the most beautiful thing we saw was the sunset. The fog laid down low on the water and as we looked out from the bluffs we felt like we could step out onto the clouds. The horizon turned a brilliant orange and was very majestic. Truly a moment on the coast to remember.
This weekend looks crazy... and ive dove enough crazy recently

The swell hgt doesn't look too bad but the intervals are predicted to be really long (18 seconds), so the surge will go deep. Last time I was diving off the Cypress Sea the invervals were something like 14-16 sec and the surge was really strong even at 80 ft. :shocked2:
