Beach & bay conditions
Today's tide swings for San Diego Bay plus surf and water temperature at Imperial Beach and Silver Strand.
Low tide = tide pools
Anything under 1 ft opens up the rocky shelf south of the Imperial Beach Pier for tide pooling.
Bay side stays calm
On windy afternoons cross to the bay side of Silver Strand — flat water for kayaks and paddleboards.
Water temp reality check
