View down the Sounds 2pm Friday

This week has been a cracker weather wise with plenty of sun and no rain. However the north to north west weather pattern has resulted in some strong on shore winds with associated seas.

Visibility in the Inner Sounds is reasonable at around 6 to 8 metres, with the water temp slowly but surely heading past 12 degrees Celsius. Any where in the Outer Sounds that is exposed to the northerly wind is going to be fairly sloppy, but visibility will be good as the onshore winds do bring in clear water, vis on the Lermontov is up around the 15 metres.

Looks like the Northerly weather is going to continue until Saturday night with 40knt N/W and then turn to the South with 30knts and a bit of rain. Which will be good for my new lawn. I recommend Tory Channel side Saturday and the Northern Entrance on Sunday.

Have a good weekends diving and dive safe.
