Fish City roundup
Saturday looks best to go
San Diego · October 14, 2026
Wind backs off to 8 mph and swell eases to 2.9 ft on Saturday, the best mix of the week. Thursday and Friday both carry more wind and a flatter solunar read, so they only rate a maybe. Sunday sees wind creep back up, another maybe day.
Yellowfin tuna lead the counts and are trending up, with Cortez posting 17.4 fish per angler on its run. Dorado and skipjack are both rising too, so the offshore grounds are worth the ride.
Plan for Saturday, leave early, and load up on yellowfin and dorado gear before the wind returns Sunday.
