The emerald waters at St. Andrews are looking fair today, but don't expect the usual crystal-clear show. The estimated visibility today is 5-10 ft, likely stirred up by the 10.5 mph SW cross-onshore wind pushing into this south-facing site. On the bright side, with no recent rainfall, there's no runoff to worry about, and the surf is staying mellow under 1 ft.

Site Notes
South-facing Gulf site — best on calm days. Jetty area offers structure and marine life. Shallow shelf dampens swell. State park entrance fee required.
