We just came across this guided snorkel of Mission Bay in Mission Point Park. It seems like a nice option. Here is a link to the tour on TripAdvisor. You can help us if you use this link. We may make a small commission, at no extra cost to you.

Hey there, I live in San Diego, are there any snorkeling groups that go out together? Where can I find one? I don’t want to go out alone.

In San Diego the water is warmest typically in September. It has been known to reach 75-77°F, but typically 72-73° most years. Right now it’s 68° and it’s still June, so we are happy with that. The best water clarity is August through October.

Even in the 70’s we wear a 4/3mm wetsuit, as we like to stay in the water for up to 3 hours. When it’s in the 60’s we will also use a 5/3 hooded vest, and sometimes wear our 7mm wetsuit. We always wear gloves and boots as well.

I live four hours from San Diego and would love to drive down to snorkel there. My concern is the water temperature. When is the water the warmest? September? October?
