Dana reefs
Since NP absolutely sucked today, I need to try something new....Without giving away your honeyhole, can someone give me an idea how to find the reefs off Dana point? I know they are south of the harbor, but roughly how far out and down etc... I plan on launching off Doheny for the shorter paddle
Thanks |

I like the areas from the pedestrian bridge south. Lots of scattered stuff from all the way inside to like 40'. There's stuff deeper too, just not as easy to find.

That looks about right. . .
Head south. I seem to use the outer harbor wall as the "side-line" and the coast as the other side-line.
As you head south past the San Juan Creek, and the camping spots, and you'll see the hotels, and then a foot bridge. This is all the Doheny State Park area. This area has sandy/weedy spots, kelp stringers and rock structure. Take care to look at swells/surf report. There is an outer reef that can produce a wave. I suppose a rogue wave could cause problems if you aren't paying attention and caught inside. have fun. |
