Line: the model over the next two days. Dot: the buoy's observed reading.
Waiting for the latest offshore observation.
Below the surface
Visibility
No one has shared a verified observation from Laguna, so Ebbward won't guess. Wave models and clear skies can't measure underwater clarity.
How clarity can be read: the Scripps Pier camera, La JollaBefore you go in
Official guidance
Ebbward can't tell you whether it's safe to enter. These can.
Always free. Official guidance never sits behind a membership.
Beneath the Scripps Pier
La Jolla, San Diego, about 90 km south. Separate from Laguna; never a Laguna reading.
Waiting for a camera check
An analyzed frame will appear here when available.
No current analyzed framePilings at known distances
A missed piling does not establish the limit of visibility: light, particles or fouling can hide it.
Recent camera checks will appear here. Gaps stay gaps.
The week
Seven days of regional models. Drag the chart or use the arrow keys to read any hour, or choose a day.
Waves are modeled significant height offshore, not breaking surf. All five places share one regional model. Shaded hours are after dark.
The week will appear when the forecast arrives.
The coast
Five places to start. They share one regional forecast for now, so choose the one you're headed to.
