Definitely the availability of bait, but I'd also say the nearshore canyon and unique bathymetry, abundance of kelp and warmer average water temps make it a great feeding location along their migration route. Think of it like the best fast food restaurant on a long stretch of highway.

The underwater topography is hard to ignore.

That downhill current - upwelling of the cold nutrient-rich water from the deep. Rock formations scatter along the shore creating an ideal environment for the kelp beds to thrive. Plenty of food and shelter for the bait and other small fish.
Pelagics joining the party.

They don’t they like to gamble on the ponies at the Del Mar racetrack and unfortunately La Jolla is in the way
