Black Rock is looking pretty mellow today, a nice change for this spot. With practically no surf and a decent ENE cross-offshore breeze, the lava rock wall should be quite pleasant for snorkeling. The estimated visibility today is 30-40 ft, but keep in mind the tide is rising, so currents around the point might pick up.
