If you have to ask then.............If you haven't received your fair share of warning about the winds at Cabrillo consider this your first official warning.

You can launch from either place. launching from the beach means you might be dragging your yak through sand, launching at the boat ramp means you might add some marks to the bottom of your yak. If you decide to launch at the boat ramp launch on the opposite side of the docks closer to the rocks so that you stay away from the boat that are launching/landing.

I would keep an eye on the surf report and wind conditions but more than anything you need to know where the MPA's are.

I believe the paddle from the launch to Angels gate is roughly 2-3 miles, turn the corner and its another 2-3miles to the kelp beds. If its your first time there I would stay inside the harbor. All kidding aside, the winds get nasty there. GregAndrew, Bellcon and Ful-rac can yell you first hand what its like to paddle in those headwinds. It takes a lot of strength and stamina to get back to the launch. There are days when the winds ripping in the morning and non-existent in the afternoon but there are also days when the opposite is true.


Stay close to Tagyak....if you need to get towed he can tow you back on his Hobie.
