Shaw's Cove is offering a fair dive today, a bit of a mixed bag for our usual sheltered spot. We're seeing some onshore WSW wind at 10.3 mph and 1-2 ft surf, which, combined with 0.04 inches of recent rain, is likely stirring things up a bit. The estimated visibility today is 10-15 ft, making it the worst factor, though the falling tide is heading towards slack in about 40 minutes.
