Weather and Treasure Coast Diving

Beach diving along the Treasure Coast can be good when the weather conditions cooperate. Reefs close to shore are located on the East Coast of Florida from Sebastian to St.Lucie Inlet. They are generally shallow - anywhere from 6 ft to 20 ft in depth. When conditions are favorable (calm seas with little or no swells) nearly every beach access in the area has reefs which can be accessed from the shore. When the sea is rough, these areas can be dangerous and usually provide no visibility when there is any type of swell or wave. This is because of the shallowness of the reefs and the fact that there is no filtering effect of the water. Clarity improves after a week or more of flat, calm seas, which allows the turbidity to settle to the bottom. A calm sea is usually due to west winds or a southwest wind which gives us a bit of a current pushing in the clearer Gulf Stream waters. The dive and snorkel conditions may be hard to predict and tend to change rapidly– divers should watch the wind, local beach cams and surf reports for indications of westerly or very light winds. Summertime is best for favorable conditions, but sporadic clear spells happen year round. Calling for dive conditions is always recommended, or sign up for our Clear Water Alerts below and we will email you when the conditions are good.
