I was diving at Refugio today, north of Santa Barbara, and the visibility was pretty bad. maybe 6-8 feet, lots of brownish algea. Some places cleared up to around 10, maybe even 15 feet, but thats it. Great swell, maybe 1-2 feet and 2 foot surge, but the viz sucked. Is there a thread on this forum for conditions? I hate driving 45 minutes just to find out that the water is full of boogers. Despite the conditions, I still hooked up a nice rockfish and some perch. Sigh, any day in the water, right?
