Brewers Bay is looking like its usual chill self today, a perfect spot for spotting turtles without much fuss. The minimal swell is definitely the best factor, keeping things super calm, and the SE wind blowing cross-offshore helps keep the surface smooth. While the rising tide isn't ideal for this low-tide dependent spot, minimal recent rain means runoff isn't a concern, and the estimated visibility today is 30-40 ft.
