I am curious about the opposite. December 2017 I was staying on the New Port Beach peninsula in So Cal and the water was clearer then I think I've ever seen anywhere in the entire world. I grew up in the OC and have been to or by the beach 100s of times, I had never seen it so clear. Any idea why? Is it common? Was it fluke? Is it seasonal? Has something changed?
You could walk half way down Balboa Pier and still clearly see the bottom of the ocean. I don't think I'd ever seen the bottom of the ocean through waves in any beach in So Cal ever. Never thought of it as dirty so much as just normal for sea water.
