I tried to do a little research to see if it was recommended only for freshwater but yielded no results. Maybe I should take a buddy with me since it's a tandem so I have some help paddling. How's the bay near the Seaworld area? Appreciate the info man!

Seaworld is in Mission Bay. That is great place to get familiar with your kayak and practice paddling and self rescues. It's get windy there too so you will get a change to paddle in the wind. Once your comfortable then go to San Diego Bay (Shelter Island launch) during the running tide and get a feel for paddling against the tide and wind.
Remember to wear your PFD all the time, especially while practicing self rescues.
