It’s been a bit of a changeable week weather wise,  this is quite normal for this time of year. To start the week off we had a South Westerly weather pattern with visibility in the Inner Sounds down to 5/6 metres due to rain. Mid-week we saw the pattern change to a north, nor westerly, which is going to gradually increase to 50 knots Saturday. For those who are familiar with the area, that means diving the Outer Sounds is going to be pretty much out for Saturday. Over-night Saturday we will see a change to a South Westerly which will bring cooler and wet conditions with 25 knots of wind for Sunday.

My pick for the weekend would be a dive in the lee of the Inner Sounds or Tory channel on Saturday and maybe venture out to the Marine Reserve at Long Island for a Sunday dive.

Expect the vis to be down a bit due to choppy surface conditions and a Northerly swell rolling into the Northern entrance. Have a good weekend and  make sure your got a good anchor and boat person if your heading out a bit.

Cheers Brent
