Any reports from the water today? I'm a total noob and was going to head out tomorrow morning, but don't have a partner and don't want to fight a fast southward current.

Yes it is ripping.

If you see little or no kelp at the surface, don't go south past the condo and you will not have a problem.

Nice to meet you too Ryan. After our 10 min conversation and half mile drift, I got a phone call for another 10 mins and half mile drift. So it took me about 3 hours to get to the condo

Greg, quit making it sound like the current is what got you....

Its the giant slab of meat hanging on the side of your kayak that slows you down.
