Anyone do la jolla in the afternoon ?

[batty1of3]

I was thinking of trying out la jolla for the first time after work at about 5pm
does anyone ever go out later in the day for like an hour or 2

it will be the first time to la jolla so i was thinking of just giving it a try and either not fishing or only fishing a little bit padde out to the bouy etc

also weather is saying it supposed to be windy too so mebbe it might be better to just hit he bay

opinions for a surf launch noob?

I would not go out today or tomorrow due to high wind and bad weather, but la jolla anytime is always good

I was out early this morning to slip in the narrow weather window. Gentle rain and S breeze. Then it cleared, the wind shifted to the W, started to blow and the short W swell and chop began to build. My cue to head on in. It looks "okay" from the beach but once you get past the reserve buoys, hang on. First time? I'd pick another day. Or you could always practice your surf launch/landing.

I plan on battening down the hatches for the next day or so.

Caught and released one thresher (my first) so I had a good time.
