I use to live up that way and did quite a bit of fishing. The surf can be killer but so can the fishing. Bring some iron in black and purple along with some mega baits. Spectra really helps popping the kelp and feeling the bites. Here is a local website from up there. A lot of the members are always looking for someone to go out with, I'd recommend posting on the forum.

Have a great time and bring back some nice pics.
