Hello Awesome Divers,

I'm planning another Redondo Clean up dive.

Meet at 8 AM at the Redondo Beach parking lot since tides will be crazy later in the day, should be another fun underwater golf ball hunt. Just bring a tote bag or any bag you don't mind getting all salty.

I hope you guys can join.

When: Saturday April 20th
Where: Redondo Beach
Meet at 8am by parking lot pay station

Just for my understanding.. High tide is at 5.49 AM at 11.8 feet and low is at 12:26 PM at -0.92 feet. Isn't 8:30 splash down right in middle of the crazy tide?

Yep it is. Redondo is less current sensitive than many other sites, that's why we can pull it off. Redondo can sometimes have unexpected current, known to divers as the Redondo River. Usually it is short lived and at the bottom of a very large ebb, but not always.

Just out of curiosity and future planning, when you say "at the bottom of a very large ebb", do you mean near the low tide or near the time of maximum current?

Hi. Just before the bottom of a low tide...
Have a great weekend!
