Red tide

Went house hunting again over the weekend to find black algae washed up on shore and in the waves making the beachs from playa La Jolla to Mirimar unswimmable.....does anyone know what it is? Is this regular? It was there 2 weeks ago too....

Different note, highest tide I've ever seen in RP, got lucky to swim with the kids In The Morua estuary had our own personal lazy river within feet of cholla cactus, the high tide was cutting new high water marks in some places...cool to see nature at work. I'm assuming this is related to the summer solstice?

Check out the tides for fishing site.....it was maybe 18 and a quarter...almost never gets to 19

We've seen the black seaweed probably twice in past 10 years. Hopefully it will be gone soon!

Daughter saw tons of fish (?) eggs attached to this so it may be helpful

Seaweed Lots of seaweed.

On the bright side Corvina are around but small

Red tide has been in affect since February 2018, but being partially lifted. http://rockypoint360.com/partial-red-tide-alert-still-in-effect/
