Thanks Cindy, there was this link from wiki that is similar to yours on calflora. It's interesting to see all the different common names for a species, but I'm not sure I can pinpoint exactly what it is. I'll still call it Tule, but I believe it's Schoenoplectus acutus. Here's the wiki link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Schoenoplectus_acutus

I'm not 100% on the ID although it is the correct genus. You can search other species by opening up http://www.calflora.org/, type Schoenoplectus in the plant name search box and select San Diego county. Good luck!
