AI Spot Summary
The Cove is feeling a bit moody today, with that classic La Jolla gloom hanging over the water. While the minimal rainfall is a relief, the persistent NW onshore wind is churning up the shallows and keeping the surge active near the canyon edge. The estimated visibility today is 5-10 ft, so expect a murky, low-contrast dive if you head out into the kelp.
