According an article in the San Diego Union-Tribune, a 1.5 million dollar, two-year study that examined the health risks of Mission Bay water quality, concluded that the park is safe for all forms of aquatic recreation, including swimming. The study focused on individuals who had various amounts of contact with the water from full emersion to no contact at all. The individuals were contacted 10 days to 2 weeks later and asked if they had contracted any illness. While most individuals reported no illness at all, a small amount (less than 5%) reported minor illnesses such as skin rashes or diarrhea.

You don't have to be a diehard surfer to enjoy the conditions this fall. Late season south swells combined with early season north swells have created ideal conditions for the beginning surfer. Warm water currents have made the typically cooler Southern California water temperatures quite mild and you may not even need a wetsuit to paddle out.
