I know you're not familiar with Dana Pt this time of year. Sending people

jetty is just plain wrong.
It's true, there's good fishing there, but, the waves are not sheltered there.
Since Doho faces south and the waves are coming in from the south.
On top of that, the place is crawling with surfers.
The lifeguards won't let kayakfisherman anywhere near the surfers.
Plus the surfers are sitting on top of the fishing holes.
If people are worried about the waves, this time of year, send them north
to the west facing beaches.
This is just a lesson. Don't take offense. Lots of newbies will see you're
from Dana and you've got a ton of posts, so they'll take you at your word.
Spend more time learning about the seasonal changes in your area before
guiding others.

I'll vouch for that. I went to doho on a south swell against my better judgement even though wave and wind predictions were low. Unfortunately if was one of the only days I had time to get down there, so I took my chances. Turned out to be fairly hefty south swells and solid wind. It sucked b-holes, and the waves weren't even crashing over the jetty.
