All,
I live nearby and have been there a couple of times. If the visibility is good the snorkeling is great. If the surf conditions have stirred up the bottom it really isn't that good.
I assume you are planning to head out from La Jolla Cove. Just north of there is La Jolla Shores beach. At the Shores there are a number of places that will rent you equipment. The same shops also rent kayaks, which are also a lot of fun. Perhaps you could use that as a contingency plan if the visibility is bad.
I might be able to go if the time is correct. When are you guys leaving LA? When are you arriving down here in San Diego?
Why not add a thread for this in the San Diego section? I just happened to see the posting on my way to the SD section of the forum.
Cheers - Keith

The water really isn't going to warm up that quickly anyway, that's why you need a wet suite.
