Water clarity
Month-by-month turbidity of the coastal water, from satellite measurements.
Today (estimate)
Murky · visibility ≈ 1.1 m
Seasonal normal (November): Murky — Seasonal normal today.
- Waves over the last two days may have stirred up the bottom.
In the surf zone (first 1–2 m) the water may be murkier than shown.
New or full moon is close: tidal currents are strong.
Confidence: High
