Molasses Reef is usually a showstopper, but today it's looking a bit muted with a fair vibe. The recent 1.46 inches of rainfall is actually a good thing here, keeping the water clear, but the minimal swell is still the worst factor, stirring things up a bit, especially with an 8.0 mph NNE cross-shore wind. The estimated visibility today is 40-50 ft, which is decent but not the usual crystal-clear conditions we often see at this popular spot.
