Ditto to Rick's report.... Did some kayak diving off Golden Beach/Service Club. Can't remember the last time I saw the water that clear. Really warmed up too... my computer was hitting 68 and 69 in some spots. Found some really cool stuff. Will post later.

I heard that the water was 70 down there, didn't believe it as it was mid 60s it seems just a few days ago. Nice to hear the water is warming up 70 is my get in the water temp =)

Since the NOAA Venice pier site is down you can use this site for water temp.

Venice NorthandSouth Jetty Water Temperature (Sea) and Wetsuit Guide (Florida - Gulf, USA)

Just have to convert C to F

Do you think the SW wind forecast will impact viz or as long as it is flat'ish/this time of year, Viz will stay? Am shocked to see such great viz. Don't remember it being this good for a long time.

I tried it today and the answer is pea soup, putting a report up in a few minutes.

Just about every year in April we get 10-20' vis that lasts about a week to two.. At least for the last 3 years or so..I would not be surprised to see it here soon.. No rain and calm winds for a week and I'd bet we will see it again... I believe its due to to many factors.. To name a few: Not much rain in April, Cold fronts usually stop making it down so winds generally lightens up, And finally our water starts warming... Its a good recipe for good viz...
