Does rain ruin the viz in Monterey? and Swell question
I am wondering if the recent rain in Norcal has a detrimental effect on viz, as it does other places.
also, what kind of weather do you need to shore dive in this area? like how small and what direction does the swell need to be inorder to make diving practical |

Re: Does rain ruin the viz in Monterey? and Swell question
Unless the swell is huge, you can usually find a protected place to dive in the winter. Also, what I would call poor viz down there, I would call great viz up closer to SF haha.
The more exposed spots with more moving water can have better viz after a rain, but of course they also have more swell. It's awesome when you catch a winter day with 80ft+ viz.
