Wow, first post on the forum for 2012~! First, Happy New Year (plus some) to all. I hope you all have a wonderful New Year (and productive with regards to discoveries). Remember, be safe and if you can share (like if anyone knows about this weekend's outlook.. sadly life/work didn't let me go out last weekend... Sunday thoughts?).

Take care to all... Thanks for the board/sharing... Hope 2012 is great for all...

Anyone have current bottom tempsthe last day or two? It looks like surface temp is coming up fast, but the buoy is notoriously inaccurate

I saw a report on facebook from Florida Underwater Sports from about 2 days ago & they reported 5 - 8 ft viz & suface temp of 68. Bottom temp was 66. Unfortunately I don't remember exactly where they were but it was in the Venice area.




Went back & checked and the report was from yesterday at Service Club.

The water temp at the pier is 71.
I usually -4 for a close bottom temp in the 20' depths.

That vis report 2 days ago (Tues.) would only be 2 days after being at the Jetties Sun. afternoon watching them surf in brown colored water and 3'+ seas.
I just don't see it clearing that fast

I hear ya Tooth. All I know is that's what they reported. They are having their Donut Dive at Service Club tomorrow morning so we'll see what they report from that.
