Dock wisdom

·

Solana Beach has no harbor; the ocean trips run out of Oceanside or Mission Bay, and the cove reef is a shore paddle.

·

Morning water is glassy before the afternoon onshore wind builds.

·

The reef and tidepools open on a minus tide; check the tide chart before you go.

·

Whale watching is best December to April for gray whales, June to September for blue and humpback whales.
