### Tidal and Weather Report

The weather is expected to be partly cloudy with a slight chance of rain, which could work in your favor as cloudy days often improve fishing conditions. Sunrise is at around 6:30 AM, and sunset will be at approximately 4:45 PM.

### Hot Spots
If you're heading out today, consider the lower banks off San Diego for tuna and yellowtail. The waters around Emeryville, Berkeley, and Monterey are also excellent for rockfish, lingcod, and crab.
