Put it this way ......

I have lived in San Diego my whole life and for the first time ever went to the beach (mission bay) on the 4th of July for a family obligation .....

OMG ..... I have never seen so many people in my life, as well as the worst traffic ...worst parking ever ..... and then I looked at the water, looked like more people in and on the water than water itself.......

You may be ok at 4 am but be prepared to "never Leave" kinda like in the song Hotel California

Like CTF said, get in at 4:00 am. Get out early to mid afternoon, before the exit rush and you'll be alright. I did it last year.

Wasn't too bad today. I launched at 5 and there were a few kayaks and 3 boats. There were a handful of power boats that showed up at about 10:00 and started making waves and chasing dolphins. Landing was a pain because there were a lot of idiots on paddle boards and people snorkeling right in front of the launch. Lots of bait but no YT or WSB for me. And very sunny. Don't forget the sunscreen.
