Well, it looks like the swell model rules out LACal

This AM was amazing at Vets. Clear, calm ankle slappers.

As we're gearing up, saw a Gray Whale making its way slowly up the coast - between the pier and the Sea Lion Buoy. I've never seen a Whale so close to shore, and surely never seen one at Vets.

It was a show stopper - everyone on the beach, the whale watching boat that just left the harbor, the divers... everyone with a pulse saw it. It blew several times, went under for about 5 minutes, came up, blew several more times then fluked RIGHT OVER THE SQUID EGGS.

We got in the water and motored out to 110, but never saw it.

When we came back up, we saw another one further south. Unreal.

What a perfect day. Swell reports... whatever. It was beautiful, flat, clear. More like week before last, and nothing like Wed or Thursday nights.

More later in the dive report.

That'll learn me to trust them durn things!:11: Too late to change things now. Regrets, regrets...:(
 
I'm sure we're gonna have an awesome dive, brah. It's not often folks get a chance to expore the outer reaches of one of So Cal's premier shore dives. Here's to the spirit of exploration :cheers:

Oh yeah! Last year at this time there was a nice carpeting of squid eggs on the outer areas of Deadmans so we may see them.

Chica and I usually go to OML on Sat AM's. We'd surely take a trip to dive DeadMans with you guys on a Sat.

There's been reports of jueveline gray whale encounters coming from La Jolla for the past couple weeks. First at the Cove ... more recently at the shores. Check out these links:
