La Jolla Shores is looking fair today, a bit of a mixed bag for our sandy slopes and kelp beds. The onshore W wind is stirring things up a little, contributing to the worst factor today: visibility. The estimated visibility today is 10-15 ft, so expect some murkiness in the shallower sandy areas before you reach the deeper kelp.
