Its seaward boundary is an average of 30 miles (26 nmi; 48 km) offshore, and shoreward boundary the mean high tide. Its area is 6,094 square miles (4,602 sq nmi; 15,783 km 2). The deepest point is 12,743 feet (3,884 meters) in the Monterey Submarine Canyon, which is deeper than the Grand Canyon. The average ocean surface temperature is 55 °F ...
