Anyone know how the conditions are at Spanish Rocks??

I haven't been out there in a while. Last Friday I was arount Ft Desoto fishing, and it looked ok. But we have had a lot of rain since.

Dove the rocks on Friday 6/27. Vis was 6 - 8 ft. Water temp was 85°F, Seas were flat, no current. We did two one hour dives at 9:00 and 11:00. Be sure to bring a compass. We swam out about twice as far as the buoy and dropped but were still short of the rocks in about 16' . From shore first you'll hit on a swath of sand dollars, then some small shells and rubble, when you hear all the shrimp popping your almost there. I was surprised that most of the rocks are 90% covered in macro algae (mostly grape calerpa). It is starting to die off from the warmer water, contributing to the low vis.

Sounds good. Was thinking about going out this week...if I can ever get my buddies to... scuba up.

July 4 - Viz sucked. Found the rocks by bumping into them. Not sure if the conditions will improve much if there are more storms. Wind conditions based on what I could find seem to indicate the favorable E / SE winds over the past couple of days and the tide was coming in.

Dove there Sunday and the viz was around 6-7 foot. Good enough to see even the small critters
