AI Spot Summary
Fort Zach is feeling pretty mellow today, though that E wind is pushing things around just enough to keep the water from settling. With the tide currently low and the Florida Strait currents always lurking, the water clarity is taking a bit of a hit, so the estimated visibility today is 15-20 ft. It is a calm day on the surface, but those rocky entries are going to be just as unforgiving as ever.
