A hazy 10 feet, <5 feet in the shallows (outgoing tide)
The water has cooled down since its peak temp in August and the visibility was poor. Brown Kelp has bloomed across the seabed beginning at about 15fsw covering almost everything.
I saw several very large schools of juvenile surfperch (hundreds of fish).
All signs that fall is arriving. Hopefully, the visibility will improve.
A hazy 10-15 feet, 5-10 feet in the shallows (high tide)
The visibility is improving. Still an organic 'layer' from about 10-45fsw. Visibility was about 15ft at depth.
Saw large schools of salmon fry (approx 3-5" in length) and a large school of surfperch.
