Victoria Vis conditions?

[MarkH]

Still pretty nasty at 10-Mile today. 10-15'. It's usually much better this time of year.

We are going to be out for the long weekend, any forecast? (Gulf Islands, Saanich, possibly Race Rocks)

 

[MarkH]

Here's my forecast for the coming weekend:
Gulf Islands (Sidney) =20'
Saanich Inlet= 40' below 30' deep
Race Rocks= 30-40'
Ogden Point=20-30'
Ten Mile= 15-20'

I'll bet that will be more accurate than most surface weather reports.

So it's not Victoria, but about 50' at Cottam Point and 30' at the Jib (Nanoose area) today.

Here's my forecast for the coming weekend:
Gulf Islands (Sidney) =20'
Saanich Inlet= 40' below 30' deep
Race Rocks= 30-40'
Ogden Point=20-30'
Ten Mile= 15-20'

I'll bet that will be more accurate than most surface weather reports.

You got that right.

Thr rain and wind this weekend probably screwed up my predictions. Speaking of weather, Environment Canada said there was a gale warning up off Nanoose, but when I got up there it was nice and calm.

Vis was good at Ogden (20' +) and there's a good sized Octo just past the 2.

I heard a report of 50' vis this weekend at Ten Mile, but I didn't really believe it until I went to Strongtide Island (across Baynes Channel from Ten Mile) today and visibility was about 40-50 feet. -An incredible dive.

We dove primarily on the inside this weekend and the vis was great, we saw plenty of Octopus on every dive and even a few Wolf eels. The vis was only about 20 - 25 on Grahams wall and probably closer to 30 on the Church.

Yesterday at the main wall of Madrona point, visibility was 75+...it was a great dive! Closer to shore it wasn't as good--probably in the 20-30ft range but still great compared to dives there a few days prior.
