Can someone provide a website that shows the water colors (blue, etc) off of the Louisiana gulf coast?

For offshore I use the NASA worldview with the "Chlorophyll A" layer on. It uses the same MODIS Satellite and produces a shaded layer to distinguish the variations of water clarity. Also makes it easier to spot potential rips. I assume this what Hiltons and Richarts use for there Chlorophyll data as well.

Red is dirty brown. Yellow is green water, light blue is clean green/dark blue, and bright blue is true cobalt blue water.

NASA EOSDIS Worldview

ETA: the Chlorophyll data isnt available for the current day. Most times it takes a few days to find a clear Sat shot anyway.
