How busy will Dana Point and the area be tomorrow?

Anyone have a crystal ball handy?
Thinking about launching at DP harbor in the early AM then having my wife and kids drive a seperate car down to meet up with me around noon-ish so they can hang out and swim and all.
My wife is worried about the amount of traffic and parking spots available mid-day?
Is there another swim friendly beach I should have her meet me at?

At noon she will not get a parking spot at Baby's Beach. It's been "turn-away" parking since Friday. 9:00 am probably the latest...

Thanks mrJB....
Anywhere else I can have her meet with me at?
Somewhere we could both park without too musch issue?

Maybe even head further south toward Oceanside since I'll be headed to East SD later in the evening?

Is there anywhere you could drive down and park in the morning, then have the Family take the Train down there to meet you? I am not familiar with the trains down that way... Then you only have one car...

another idea... Kind of mean but It works...

If you have a motorcycle or streetbike you can take down with you, put it in the spot next to yours until you wife needs it then throw the bike back on the truck...

I haven't been to the harbor for 4th in probably 5 years but I can tell you that after a certain time( maybe like 8 or 10 am) you can't even get into the harbor by car. At noon she would probably be parking a few miles away in a neighborhood and walking
