Reports from the San Diego Divebums list today:
Dove the Shores this morning - around and just north of the old Crap Patch
area. We were there to photograph octopuses, and there was so much
activity that we never ventured below 75 feet. Reasonable vis, maybe 10-20
in most places depending upon presence of bat rays, classes, etc. 76 at
the surface, 61 at depth. Tons of red and two-spot octos, two unidentified
sculpins, lots of sarcastic and one-spot fringeheads, and a few blennies
(mussel, I'm guessing). One Corambe with lots of eggs, some
Eubranchus-looking eggs (no corresponding nudi), and some fat Navanax.

Tide
2018-08-12 Sun 6:10 AM PDT Sunrise
2018-08-12 Sun 11:00 AM PDT 4.9 feet High Tide
2018-08-12 Sun 4:23 PM PDT 1.3 feet Low Tide
Vis: 10-20ft, cloudy in some areas
Temp: 61F to 70F
Surf: 1ft surf, some wind waves
Beach was busy at 6:45am this morning. It still must be summer time. We
went around V Pt counterclockwise
stopping first at the crap patch and then south to the point. Many schools
of juvenile rockfish still (mostly halfbanded's),
many blackeye and bluebanded gobies, one juvenile horn shark that swam by
and didn't stop and say hello, a few
sarcastic fringeheads, ronquil fish, few rock crabs in the holes, and a few
Calif longbeak shrimps. Nice dive around the point.

Very cool! In all my dives in SoCal I think I've only seen one sarcastic fringehead!
Check out Vet's at night. You should be able to find at least a dozen.

Those critters were one of the reasons I built my SLR housing along with macro ports and then couldn't find any.
At Vet's you can find them in most turban snail shells, bottles and once in awhile out in the open.
