Dolphin Snorkel Reef is looking fair today, a decent day for those up for the swim out to the buoys. The estimated visibility today is roughly 20-30 ft, helped by zero recent rainfall, though the falling tide might keep things from being crystal clear. With light 6.4 mph SSW cross-onshore winds and minimal surf, conditions are generally favorable for exploring the shallow concrete modules.
