I’ve been dry for the last few weeks.

For what ever reason, diving in May seems to be the worst diving of the year around here – bad visibility, red tide, generally crappy.

Terranea Resort has apparently asked the city of Rancho Palos Verdes for money to continue construction and, when it’s scheduled to open in June, operating costs.

You can read about it, compliments of the Daily Breeze, by clicking here.

I was warned yesterday about the conditions; “PV was blown out all over the place,” was the report.

Old Marineland access, or I should now say “Terranea Resort” beach access, is still closed, so I showed up at Honeymoon Cove where Reverend Al and Not So New Chris were already scoping the conditions out.

It was extremely low tide with some waves coming into the rocks.

We checked out Christmas Tree Cove…

..we found similar conditions;  not so much waves, but very green water.

“It looks way better than it did yesterday,” Chris said.

I inquired about Malaga Cove.

“I just came from there – forget it, it’s mud,” Chris said.

Not a good day for diving and not even a good day for surfing; everyone got skunked today.
