I went to Dana Point last year for the opener. Not the midnight, but I got there 2 hours before sunset on Saturday afternoon. Yes it is a zoo but if you stake out a spot early it isn't too bad.
Although I prefer to hoop the long wall, I stayed on the short wall for the opener just to cut down on the boat traffic. People came in really tight and I almost lost a hoop in the rocks as I got crowded in too close.
It was fun but this year I will be waiting a couple days, there are plenty of bugs to go around.
