Molasses Reef, usually a crystal-clear paradise, is looking a bit muted today with a Poor to Fair vibe. The onshore SSE wind at 7.4 mph is stirring things up a little, contributing to the less-than-stellar conditions. The estimated visibility today is 30-40 ft, a noticeable drop from our usual pristine conditions here, despite the excellent lack of recent rainfall.
