65°F VISIBILITY
SURFACE TEMPERATURE: LOW
Water Conditions HIGH
67°F 5'–15'
Midweek will be the best visibility during high tide in the am hours before the wind gets on it. Conditions for diving will dete- riorate by Friday morning when a strong west swell pushes in some head-high plus surf for the surfers. Friday and Saturday will be the best waves in a while with long-period clean faces to ride. Boaters should especially keep an extra eye out for divers near the reefs and channel edges and divers always mark yourselves and area appropriately.
Visibility based on existing conditions and NOAA predicted swell and weather conditions at press time. Check up-to-date daily visibility/ conditions at the San Diego County Lifeguard info line: 619-221-8824

The project will collect data from surfers in England, Ireland, Spain, Morocco, California, Hawaii, Chile, and Indonesia. “These waves represent different envi-
ronments — river mouths, harbor entrances, marine preserves, or isolated islands. Kapono’s research tools include the
American Gut Project sample kit, which he will distribute to surfers he meets. Within two hours of going in the ocean, surfers will swab hands, feet, navel, chest, mouth, ears, nose, eyes, and surfboards. Subjects will also provide a fecal sample and other information about their health and surfing locations. The information will be added and compared to the database of the Ameri- can Gut Project, based at UC San Diego School of Medicine.
“We definitely expect to see ocean-spe-
cific bacteria on surfer skin and definitely cosmetics such as sunscreen and shampoo,” Kapono anticipated.

Paddleboards beat out beer The 55-foot storefront at 1253 Garnet Avenue has had plastic, wood, and graffiti-covered windows for a long time, said everyone I asked. Those who have been doing business on the same block say the building has been sitting empty for at least a decade. An employee of Sprouts, directly across
the street, remembers seeing a sign for a Bra- zilian restaurant going up in 2006 — and it came down without the establishment ever opening its doors. Before that there was a furniture store (the Comfort Zone). The new tenant is Tower Paddle Boards.
They will be moving from their current loca- tion behind Yogurtland at 845 Garnet. The local paddleboard manufacturing company received national attention in 2012 when CEO Stephan Aarstol appeared on the television show Shark Tank and billionaire investor Mark Cuban made a $150,000 investment for 30 percent of the take.
ANGLER COUNT LOW, YELLOWFIN COUNT HIGH
Inshore: The inshore fishing was very good this last week with lots of elbow room, to boot. A little bumpy weather kept the angler count down and I believe it’s the first week since springtime that the fleet sent out less than 100 boats. Still, the bass and sheephead are biting well in the kelp for the ½ day boats while the ¾ day runs out to the 9 Mile Bank and the Coronados are giving up some nice reds, whitefish and lingcod. An occasional yellowtail and some bonito are showing up in the counts for those inshore trips. Sanddab are biting
Paddleboard exec Stephan Aarstol on Shark Tank Tony Franco is the local realtor who
brokered the new lease agreement between Tower and the owners, John and Lena Per- nicano — the same Pernicanos who own the Italian restaurant that has been on Turquoise for more than 50 years. Franco came into the
picture back in May when the owner of Barrel Repub- lic, a pour-your-own beer pub, wanted help subleasing their part (3213 square feet) of the building on Garnet. The rest of the 7500-square- foot space is occupied by a tattoo parlor and the property management/branding company named Eat Drink Sleep. Barrel Republic had leased the space in
Scott Chipman and his group SavePB. Franco said that Chipman protests anyone who applies for a liquor license in Pacific Beach.

and sharks The Wednesday, Sep- tember 10 [1958], San Diego Union detailed how on the previous day Monroe, escorted by two Coronado police officers, made the “100-yard trek” to
Marilyn
October 2014 to expand their operations next door. After more than a year and a half of trying to enlarge the footprint of their beer and wine license, they gave up the fight. Franco blames
well for the ½ day run out of Oceanside on the flats. There were only a couple lobster trips this week, but the take versus shorts was real good at about 1 legal out of every 4 caught. Outside: Overnight and 1.5 day boats are all focused on the great yellowfin tuna action offshore from the 302 and all the way up to San Clemente Island and Tanner Bank. These fish are showing up under working birds and/or feeding dolphin and are running in the larger variety for this far north; about 40-60 pounds. Down the Pacific coast of Baja, yellowtail showed real well this week for the crews out of San Quintin all the way down to Asuncion. Wahoo and striped marlin are in the mix with yellowfin tuna off Bahia Magdelena around the East Cape to Bahia de los Muertos and La Paz, where
the ocean. The star “cavorted in the ocean for an hour or so. Minutes after [she] scam- pered ashore… a rumor whipped through the crowd of 500 watching… that a shark had been spotted.” From “The White Mask: Marilyn Mon-
roe and the Hotel del Coronado,” by Thomas Larson, San Diego Reader, September 4, 2003
there are also a lot of dorado from 10 pounds up to some decent bulls in the 30-40 pound range. Some very large roosterfish were reported caught in the northern Sea of Cortez at Gonzaga Bay by a kayak group out of San Diego. Gonzaga Bay used to be a grueling 18 hour or longer trip from San Diego, but since the road has been paved all the way through and out past Coco’s Corner, it is about a 6 or 7 hour trip through Tecate and San Felipe and well worth it for anyone wanting to find remote natural beauty and turquoise water close to home. As long as the wind isn’t blowing hard, it is a kayak angler’s paradise, with seasonal sierra, roosterfish and yellowtail, year-round grouper and spotted cabrilla all close to the beach.
