Kelp around the point in Dana Point has been making a bit of a recovery. Some really thick places between the point at Strands up to Salt Creek. Easily visible on a lower tide. Only issue is currents can get pretty strong and pin the kelp sideways at times keeping a lot of it just below the surface. It's been very cold the past couple weekends though. I measured a low 50.6 degrees last Sunday!
Seen a lot of kelp at LJ too, but I've only been fishing there a couple years so I don't have anything to go off of for how it "used to be."
