The trick is not to figure out which beach is better for noobs... the trick is to get some experience and not be a noob.

Just make sure everything is stored below decks and everything is leashed.

If you're worried about losing stuff, then get out there and practice without any gear. It'll be worth it. :)

Sounds good. Thank you.

Everything else being equal; swell, period, tide height and direction...County Line has a much higher pucker factor.

CL is a steep, fast and peaky break. It's hard to tell where the next random peak will come up, and when it does, it's fast. The shore is uneven in depth. Wait until you can see the bottom before you get out. A premature dismount can put you into the deep end. Besides that, when you land, you have to slalom through a dozen short-boarders who are eager for entertainment between sets. The sound of surfers whooping it up at landing time = adrenaline landing.

La Jolla, IMO, is a shallow, slow, organized break. The shore is fairly even in depth. The waves peel off like an escalator at Macy's. Sometimes you can walk out for yards and still be in knee-deep water. If you're patient, you can time it with confidence.

My 4 year old can launch la jolla with no problem.




County line I have seen thousands of dollars being taken away by that launch.

I have less than a dozen surf launches under my belt.
I believe 2 were at LJ shores and in my experience it is BY FAR the easiest launch/ landing. Very sheltered.
My go to spot ( though I've been out of the game for a couple years) is near Big Rock, just south of Windansea. Good place to avoid the crowds, but a little more work.
This summer I am hoping to launch somewhere off of OB or Point Loma and fish that kelp.
You just have to time it right and hope for the best.
I have had one major yard sale. It comes with the territory. Just make sure your things are tied to the boat and don't F- around.
