Lauderdale-by-the-Sea is looking a bit murky today, far from its usual vibrant self. The cross-shore SSE wind at 10.8 mph, combined with 1-2 ft surf, is really stirring things up close to shore, which is typical for this spot. The estimated visibility today is 10-15 ft, making it the biggest challenge out there, despite no recent rainfall.
