About Lower Otay Lake

Lower Otay Lake is a public boat ramp in San Diego County, California, on Lower Otay Lake. From here SeaStatus scores 3 waters: Otay River, Coastal Waters from San Mateo Point to the Mexican Border and out to 10 nm (Area 9 of 9) and Mexico Border S to 30N to 60 NM offshore (Area 3 of 3).

The main water here is Otay River. Rivers are scored mostly on wind and current. Wave height is not part of the score, because a river has no real sea state; visibility and comfort make up the rest. Tide predictions come from NOAA station 9410135, South San Diego Bay, the closest one to here. Its conditions are read at a reference point on the water about 5.0 mi from this ramp.
