Go early morning for calm conditions
Waves grow choppier as the day progresses, making afternoon snorkeling harder and entry more difficult.
Swim out to the power plant pipes
The warm water discharge attracts thousands of fish, turtles, and occasionally dolphins clustered near the pipe outlet.
Bring fins and snorkel gear
Strong currents and rocky entry require flippers to navigate safely and maintain position in the water.
Experienced swimmers only
Strong currents, rough entry through waves, deep water up to 30 feet.
Conditions vary dramatically by season
Winter brings larger waves that make snorkeling difficult or impossible; summer offers calmer water and better visibility.
