This event has been cancelled the surf and swell direction has moved higher making for a rough entry at Laguna.
We dont recommend going out to dive in laguna on this date.

Hopefully some decent viz at Deadmans, if its rough and choppy may just hit the reef in front of seal rock.

We might end up canceling this one. The conditions are deteriorating fast for this forecast. High Surf and Swell as this storm appears like it will actually hit us. Please check this page and or face book for update before leaving the house but will hopefully have a verdict before then.

Update: Conditions looking better for Sunday, seems like rain and wind/surf going to hit Sunday afternoon so we might be able to get in a squeak by
