AI Spot Summary

Molasses Reef is usually the crown jewel of the Keys, but today the ocean is feeling a bit moody and uncooperative. That 10.4 mph ESE wind is pushing a persistent 1-2 ft swell onto the reef, which is churning things up more than we typically see out here away from the mainland runoff. While the minimal rainfall is a saving grace, the estimated visibility today is 20-30 ft, making for a rather hazy experience on the bottom.
