March 12, 2026 / Grade: C
Visibility is currently around 5-10 ft, based on the latest Scripps Pier camera image. Water clarity is moderate — the 4ft and 11ft pilings are visible with decent definition, but the 14ft pylon appears somewhat hazy against the blue-green water. Light morning cloud cover and a gentle northwest breeze are keeping conditions stable without significant surface chop. A moderate SSW swell around 3.2 ft with 14.5s period is rolling through, which may create some residual surge but hasn't stirred up bottom sediment significantly.
