I've only gone out of Solana beach because I just started kayak fishing and its within walking distance for me. What I do is launch from dog beach on the north side of the estuary that goes in to the racetrack. Granted last time I went it was 3-4' and I got pummeled 4 times going out. However, I'm also in a Malibu S-9 so I walk the kayak out as far as possible and try to time it. So to answer your question...I'd launch from dog beach north of the estuary, look for a small surf day, and DEFINITELY tie/lay everything down. I've only fished swimbaits for calicos out there but I plan on trying to make bait and going that route next weekend. If you do go off of dog beach paddle a little bit north to the kelp beds.
