Re: SLO Dive Conditions
Passing through the area on Wed 12/21 and hoping to grab a dive. I've been thinking PSL/Shell Beach, but I'm open to suggestions for anywhere between Big Sur and Shell Beach depending on conditions. How are things looking lately. Flying solo, so I'm also looking for a buddy. Will have my kayak. I can reciprocate with some So. Cal shorediving or a sail out to the Islands. Thanks!-Mike

Re: SLO Dive Conditions
8-10'@20? There's no power there, pfft! Yeah, maybe I'll pass on that. How does vis on the inside of the PSL breakwall hold up in situations like that? Thanks for the intel.

Re: SLO Dive Conditions
Best bet in those swells up here would be inside Morro Bay.

Re: SLO Dive Conditions
...and then it gets even bigger.
SEA/SWELL: Today's 3- to 5-foot northwesterly (300-degree, deep-water) swell (with a 14- to 21-second period) will increase to 4 to 6 feet (with an 18- to 24-second period) Tuesday. This swell will further build to 8 to 10 feet (with an 18- to 20-second period) Wednesday. This northwesterly swell will remain at this height but (with a 15- to 17-second period) on Thursday into Friday. Gale-force northwesterly winds along the California coastline will produce a 10- to 12-foot northwesterly (300-degree, deep- water) sea and swell (with 5- to 15-second period) Saturday, decreasing to 4 to 6 feet (with a 7- to 12-second period) on Sunday. Increasing southerly winds will generate 7- to 9-foot (190-degree, shallow-water) seas next Monday, followed by increasing westerly swell next Tuesday and Wednesday. Good time to get your dive gear serviced. |

Re: SLO Dive Conditions
It looks like we might have a decent dive window next week. Don't forget to get a new fishing license for 2017 too.

Increasing northwesterly winds will generate an 8- to 10- foot northwesterly (310-degree, deep-water) sea and swell (with a 7- to 17-second period) along our coastline on Saturday into Monday. A 5- to 7-foot northwesterly (295-degree, deep-water) swell (with an 8- to 12-second period) is expected along our coastline on Tuesday, decreasing to 2 to 4 feet (with an 8- to 11-second period) next Wednesday and Thursday.

Re: SLO Dive Conditions
Looks like a south element is showing up and screwing over our dive window.
========== PG&E DCPP Weather Forecast for Tuesday 01/03/17 ========= SEA/SWELL: Today's 4- to 6-foot northwesterly (300-degree, deep-water) swell (with an 8- to 14-second period) will continue at this height and period through tonight. Combined with this northwesterly swell will be increasing locally generated southerly seas today into Wednesday. These southerly (195-degree shallow-water) seas will increase to 4 to 6 feet (with a 3- to 5-second period) by tonight and will peak on Wednesday at 6 to 8 feet (with a 5- to 7- second period). A 4- to 6-foot southwesterly (245-degree, deep-water) sea and swell (with a 5- to 11-second period) is forecast Thursday, decreasing to 2 to 4 feet (with an 8- to 14- second period) on Friday. Increasing southerly winds will generate 5- to 7-foot (185-degree shallow-water) seas (with a 5- to 7-second period) on Saturday. These southerly seas will build to 7 to 9 feet (with a 5- to 8-second period) on Sunday into Monday, followed by increasing west-northwesterly swell next Tuesday and Wednesday. |

Re: SLO Dive Conditions
Dove Cambria today. Looked pretty crappy from shore but at the 40' contour there was 8' vis on the surface and 12' vis on the bottom. Water was 52 and not very fishy were I dove but I managed to to get what I was after. There was a little chop on top and light surge between rocks. Humpback whales were breaching at the 50' contour and I don't think that will ever cease to be impressive up close. Entry and exit were a little sketchy with today's swell but it was worth it to get wet again.

Re: SLO Dive Conditions
Couple of nice days over the last couple of weeks and fairly calm water around Pismo pier. Pirates looked like a lake this morning with zero wind. Any SLO divers getting in locally?
