Today's conditions are a little mixed around SD. Visibility is ranging from 10–15 feet, with hazy, green water making for slightly murky conditions at many sites. Viz up to 20ft if you can find those clearer pockets. Water temp remains very comfortable, though divers are still finding a noticeable thermocline around 10–12 meters.

A 2–2.5 ft NW swell @ 15 seconds is keeping a bit of movement in the water, but nothing too crazy. S winds around 10 mph are expected through both the morning and afternoon, adding some light surface texture as the day goes on.

Expect variable visibility with some green haze in the water, but comfortable temperatures make for an enjoyable dive once you're in. If you're heading out, keep an eye out for the cooler water below the thermocline and expect the cleanest conditions where the water is more protected.
