Water Conditions SD Bay and Surf

[Luc42]

Merry Christmas!!

I have been out of town the last month and know San Diego got hit with some weather the last few days. Has anyone been out on the water the last few days either in San Diego Bay or local beaches. I’m curious with all the rain and runoffs if it has made the water non fishable/unsafe.

I’m trying to take advantage of some nice weather tomorrow and want to fish from either the shore line of the bays or beaches.

Any knowledge is great knowledge.

Thanks

I know it’s going to be tough fishing with the rapid shift in water temperature it will probably take a few days for fishing to come around. Also the Bacteria counts go sky high in the Ocean after the rains. You probably don’t want to be breathing in the spray or wading around in that stuff.
On the other hand, if you know where some water is pouring into a local Lake you might jump on a Catfish bite, or fish the local Trout bite for a couple days.

As far as the bay goes, it can get pretty gross in San Diego bay after big rain storms. The back bay especially gets lots run off and debris from the city. I’ve found the bite to be slow until at least a couple days after it rains.
