Hello all:
I was in the Pepper Park area yesterday to look at conditions beachside and figured I should post a report. The water is still brown and full of sand particulate; even with the West winds, the water still is murky. It usually takes a week- 2 weeks to clear up after any swell action so if the winds stay west for a week, we might have vis Keep ya posted.
Im impressed at the response for Treasure Coast shore diving; it should be fun with a large group in the water! Has any one been out off the beach recently?? Im interested to hear what your experiences were. Last summer a few friends and I swam straight off pepper Park for 30 minutes and still had plenty of reef to look at. While enjoying the reeflines, we made our way to the wreck of the Urca de Lema (sp?) to find ballast stones and old rubble; interesting to see the history of our area.
Google Earth was lucky to snap pictures of the Ft Pierce area when the water was clean, and to our advantage, we can actually see the reeflines under the surface. Check it out.
