Encinitas, week of the 4th of July

I'm going to be in Encinitas down in socal during the 4th of july week. I'm planning on diving while I"m down there, let me know if any of you will be there as well or if you have any suggestions on where I should go out. I have Navionics so I can see where some good spots will be but happy to take any suggestions. Thanks all

Hey Troy,

I haven't dove that area in a long time, but when I lived in SD, I did dive the north county beaches a few times.  Check for kelp and surfers as that will indicate reef.  I've seen calico, halibut and occassionally smaller WSB in the shallow reef at San Elijo and Cardiff beaches.   

Good luck,
Nate

Try posting on spearboard, California forum, may get some advise there.

Good luck!

Thanks, yea I use to live down there and had a brother that speared. Will most likely drag my other brother out on a paddle board so that I have somewhere with me out there. I've checked and there are a few kelp beds I could swim out to. Hopefully find something good while I'm down there.
