Visibility: 20+ feet, 5-10 feet in the shallows

Poor vis inside the bay. Outside where current hits, vis quite good near high tide slack before ebb. 25ft, if it had been sunny, maybe 30ft vis. Significant surge at depth. Many octo dens, only saw 3 occupied. huge fish eating anemones. Lots of large hairy brown hermit crabs I don’t see at many other locations. Big orange peel nudis. Some of the hermit crabs here hide in yellow/orange sponge instead of snail shells. Thousands of juvenile tomcods. Larval flatfish. Small 2inch clear squid (not a market squid) in midwater.
