Ana,
I know that one all to well Plus PhotoTJ and I both have new Cameras we want to play with and what a better place then Anacapa. If everyone is interested let me know and I will look in to some Boats I know. Of one shop in the Valley that has a boat in may do not remeber the date but it was for around $105 and I know for a fact no one has booked on it yet so there are about 15-16 spots.... Or I could see about setting one up.Can't wait to meet you all on the 25th.

Well, conditions do look like they may be ok, but the swell may be an issue and is too soon to call. But diving should be ok, depending upon what this wind that just started does.
How about this, we meet at 0800 AM Sharp, on Pacific Coast Highway just South (East) of Leo Carrillo Entrance on the east (land) side of the road. We can then do a recon of the ocean by walking across the street to Sequit Point or South Leo Carrillo (see http://www.sandeaters.org) dive sites for this location. Then we can make a Dive/No Dive decision for this location and then either pay for parking and go to Leo Carrillo (Plan A) or do the U-Turn for Escondido Creek (Plan B) or another sheltered location yet to be named (plan C).

the aerial picture!
The rest is fine with me, except for the 8 AM thing, but I guess this ain't Arnaud's April Dive...

The wrinkles dive site has changed to Point Dume due to conditions. See you at the far end of the parking lot.

Point Dume is a little far for me to drive from here in SB. Have fun without me!
Maybe next time.

Sorry you could not make it. 2 of our group went first to Leo Carrillo and reported large waves. Westward beach had some nice sets but Point Dume was 1-2 feet and nice. We had two good dives with the Canyon being absoulty joyous with 20-30 feet of visibity. A great day of diving, sun shinning, good people and great conditions.

I too had a lot of fun. The (humpback?) whales were definitely the unexpected plus of the day. And the pinnacles are just an awesome site. Even with lousy conditions, there is a helluva lot of stuff to see.
I've said it before, but when you look at the site, its variety, the facilities and the easy access, PD is probably the best spot on the mainland in LA County, if not beyond.
