Notes for every spot in Point Loma kelp & sea cliffs
What applies to every Point Loma spot
- Access: boat only. Charters run about 30 minutes from Mission Bay; private boats launch from Mission Bay or San Diego Bay ramps. (D15, D20)
- Kelp: the bed runs from just south of the Mission Bay channel to past the point. Its size changes year to year, and the southern half is the best. (D15)
- Currents: longshore flow and tidal flow in and out of the bay can be strong, especially near the tip. Dive near high or low slack if you can. (D15, D14)
- Best season: the kelp is healthiest in late fall and winter. (D16)
- Thermoclines: common, with a drop of about 10°F by 40 ft. (D14)
- Lobster: Waterhorse names the Point Loma kelp beds as a top San Diego lobster area. (D45)
- Military land: the southern part of Point Loma is a restricted military area. (D20)
