Use these quick checks to decide if the day matches your skill level, gear, and comfort.
Wind drives surface chop and can push current.
- Watch gusts, not just steady speed.
- Onshore wind can make beach entries rough.
- Higher wind makes stops and ladder exits harder.
Wave height is size. Wave period is comfort.
- Under 2 ft is usually easier for newer divers.
- 3 to 4 ft can mean a rougher ride and exit.
- Short, steep waves make ladders harder.
Surface water can feel warmer than the bottom.
- 82 °F and up: skin or shorty for many divers.
- 75 to 79 °F: many divers prefer a 3 mm full suit.
- Low 70s: consider thicker neoprene and a hood.
Once the forecast and webcams look good, plan gas, depth, and exposure protection.
- Visit the Dive Planning Tools and Calculators page.
- Check gas planning, MOD, and weight.
- Give yourself margin if conditions change.
