It's been pretty read in Monterey the last couple of weeks, but you could get under it.

Visibility wasn't quite as good as I was hoping for given very promising 4ft. buoy reports in the AM. However, we had a couple of pleasant dives at Whaler's Cove. Visibility was about 30-35 ft after you got below 50-60ft. Swells were picking up by the afternoon.

That would be right on my maximum. Hopkins Deep and the Barge. Any bigger, or any good
excuse, and I'd stay home.

That's kinda big, but if the interval is long (say, 15 seconds), then it'd be diveable. That said, the red tide was not only in the bay, but also now in the marina/k-dock area and all the way out around Point Pinos yesterday. I'd probably stay home unless Monastery looks fairly flat or Point Lobos isn't booked up, although the Cove looked green yesterday, too. At the Needle we had 30 ft of vis.
Edit: Have you looked at the tide tables? The difference is over 8 1/2 feet. If you do go, look for some fairly strong currents. This is NOT the time to shore dive Lobos Rocks.
