It's a pretty strong NW out at sea a bit. Near the shore it looks calmer. Being a NW Shaws will probably be protected inside the cove.
It's also at the far edge of what the can predict.. I'd expect to see the forecasted conditions change over the next couple days. They usually predict it to be rougher than it actually ends up being.. but we'll see!

I'm in. Will be there with two tanks. Meet at Shaws? Or at Divers Cove and decide from there?

If you guys do make out on Saturday, be safe, however, I'm sure the beach's will be closed for diving.......

i will meet you there. let me know how the conditions are. If the conditions are not going to be good then i need to know because i am suppose to be on a hike on saturday at the same time. so if the conditions are not "safe" for me then i will go on the hike instead.
why would the beach be closed for diving?

According to up-coming swell prediction's, there is a high surf warning as of late this week and weekend. To us divers, this is not (necessarily) good. When surf is up, Conditions are usually crap. 1. Laguna have the tendencies to close the beach for Divers when the surf is bad/high 2."Safe" Is a basic fundamental rule you learn when in training and or in the process of being certified. So dive "Safe" 3. You can find plenty of information on swell, surf, tides etc. web sites for further information on your dive site conditions, or better planning. underwater dreamer wrote:i will meet you there. let me know how the conditions are.

Laguna Beach Dive LawsThe thread containing the post is also pretty interesting. I am pretty sure that Leonard, the person that started the thread, has done more dives in Shaw's Cove (and inside the reef at Shaw's Cove) than anyone I have ever met.
