AI Spot Summary

The Cove is looking a bit murky and uninspired today, typical of when that persistent WNW onshore wind starts churning up the shallows. While the minimal rainfall hasn't caused much runoff, the combination of the onshore breeze and the surge near the canyon edge is keeping things pretty stirred up. The estimated visibility today is 5-10 ft, so expect to spend more time staring at your compass than the kelp forest.
