The fact that you feel the need to ask the group should be your answer.  The report does not look good at all.  If your close to the dive site then check it out because reports have been wrong before but that looks like a day by the campfire

Diveable?  Yes.  Fun?  Not at all. 

Those are numbers that spell BBQ and beer at home to me, but some people go brave it and needlessly risk their lives.  I for one tend to wait for those 2-3 foot days, and will occasionally dive up to 5-6 foot if I really have the itch.

I don't think that's the correct report for ft.ross. Fished there today and it was flat. Vis per one diver, not me, was only 5ft but it looked better than that to me. Ft.ross is closed for abs but if your spearing I say tmw will be good. Oh yeah a guy fishing off the rocks north of the beach had a limit of lings to 37"!

Fort Ross is open for abs, as of June 1.

+1 open for abs and as long as you stay in the cove it will be plenty calm as long as swell/wind is not from south or west

Just returned from Fort Ross.  To be specific, the cove immediately north of the North Fort Ross Cove.  Ft Ross was closed and it was too long a hike from highway 1.

Anyway, the swells and waves are both noticably high.  But not prohibitively high.  I decided to get into water.  Lots of particles in water, apparently churned up by the sea.  At deeper zones visibility was about 5'.
