Hey can anyone give a vis report for anywhere from around Ft. Bragg down to around Albion please? Wondering if the rain run off has made a big muddy mess or if it's settled? Thanks!

Send a message to Duane - DG, he is in Ft Bragg. If he is cleaned up from the storm, odds are he's been looking at the water.

Sorry - not the greatest pic, but the viz was about 2 inches...

Mendo will likely be better than Humboldt, but very high river and stream flows should have the entire coast pretty dirty for at least a week.  I'm Jonesin' for some water time myself.

Very true.  I do keep an eye on things.  Noyo looks like a chocolate river out to about the red buoy.  So you can probably find some decent areas if you kayak but I would not shore dive after all this rain we have had.

When it rains like this it'll be nothing but chocolate milk for a while.

Wow that creek does look like pancake batter. Wonder if all the creeks and streams are running like that.
I noticed the swell is dropping Sat and thought it would be great to sneak in a dive before another storm. If anyone jumps in tomorrow would you let us know how the water is? thanks!

So you going to give it a try or not? 

I may give it a try after I get a few things done around here first.

Maybe drop a crab pot on the way out.

I looked at a few spots but everything close to shore is crap visibility.  I can see where the water turns cleaner out in deeper water.  Hopefully there will be some good pockets.

Thanks for that update! Guess it's wishful thinking on my part. Clear skies don't mean that all the rivers are done dumping silt....
