Out late today and onto the beach at 0900.
Wind was light, maybe 5-10 out of the North.
Seas also light, maybe 1 ft or so.
Viz was 40ft+
Current also out of the North at 3mph!!

Good day to drift from North to South.
Lots of 12 inch pink jelly fish.
Lots of fish activity in 30fsw.
I'm wearin a 3mm ok but was only in the water for 2 hours.
Good morning to yak/shore dive!
Lots of beach buns!

I see right now if I'm going to try to give accurate condition reports that I'll need some equipment to measure current, water / air temp., etc. Lo siento, I'll do better next time

hau, great thread and much appreciated. Does this mean all your fish pics you will post here?

No te preocupes about measuring instruments

an estimate is just fine as if there's something so extreme that is prohibitive of diving for someone I'm sure it will be evident from your report.

How far north and south in Broward do you range?

BTW are you breaking your own recommendation as it seems most of the time estas buceando solo?

Looking forward to your reports.

seahunter49,
1. Yes, I hardly ever dive with someone. Not good.

2. I shore/yak dive from Haulover to Lyods? Park mainly, but venture South on invitation to 77th St area.

3. I'll get a ss themoter for water and air temp. I can just throw the GPS in the water [in dry pak] to get current /drift speed.
4. Where would fish pictures be best, as I wanted this thread to be about spearin conditions?
4. Did I start this thread wrong? I thought this was supposed to be a private area. Gracias

Pictures would be best anywhere! I was thinking that since you're concentrating on conditions here we may never see a pic from you as there's little point to starting another report thread with pics if you already have the conditions report here.

This is a private section after the first post.

Gracias.
If I ever get any nice fish I'll post to another thread as I wanted this thread to be a thread where a spearo could go to, to quickly see current divin conditions in my area.
Gracias for the private thread.
OK, done for the day.
Happy Thanksgiving all.

Thanks hau. My foot is almost healed up so I'll be back in the water and making good use of your reports very soon.

This is today, unbelievable, and I still can't put on a fin.
