Salt Point or Fort Ross diving this week

[Farty]

This can look like very fuzzy question, I hope it does not look too dull.

We are planning to go up north (Salt Point or Fort Ross) to do few dives this upcoming Thursday. Looking at the forecasts it does not look good, anybody went this past weekend? I know things can change a lot, but probably not from 2 feet to 80 feet.

The real reason why I am asking is that this is going to be dive 100 and if the viz looks bad I rather go Point Lobos and enjoy premium diving (we had around 40 feet viz past couple weeks in Lobos).

Thank you

I didn't get out there this past weekend, but the reports I saw from locals were that the vis was "crap."

I live and dive up here and would gladly drive to Lobos for dive # 100.

I might go for a swim Sunday. Probably drive to Mendocino.

South sounds like a dream compared to the current Salt Point Conditions.

I heard three feet minimum with around 8 foot average, last Saturday at Gerstle Cove. I would recommend Lobos!

ZKY and I did some vintage diving last Saturday (7/24/10) at Gerstle Cove. The sea was calm but the vis was 3 feet tops. We did two dives, but still enjoyed ourselves. I would head towards monterey if your lookin for better vis.

Thank you for quick responses, I think it would be foolish to do dive 100 up North. Dear Point Lobos, I'm coming over (again).
