2 ft SW swell at 14s is holding viz to 32 ft.
Catalina Cam observation: visibility 25–40 ft (auto, medium confidence). No highlights/replay badge, frames show live blue water with no dock pilings in view. Nearby reef rock at lower left is reasonably crisp, and small blacksmith-sized fish (~8 in) appear as small but recognizable dark shapes mid-frame, implying roughly 25-35 ft; the sand/cobble bottom at lower right fades into haze at a similar range, and the far water column is featureless blue haze with a visible light-scatter cast. Nothing distinct remains beyond that, so I put visibility in the 25-40 ft band, a bit under the October average.
The kelp-ringed offshore rock off Two Harbors. Pelagics-only by law, yellowtail and bonito in season. REGULATION: only pelagic finfish and white seabass may be taken by spear here, no resident reef fish. Legality: Blue Cavern Offshore SMCA: pelagics + white seabass by spear only. Bird Rock nearby is inside the no-take Blue Cavern Onshore SMCA.
