Probably, since it looks like a bit more W swell. It's been such a lake lately that even 1ft will seem huge.

Biggest worry about the launch will be not getting stuck. Seems like quicksand lately. Past 2 nights someone has gotten stuck while I was loading up.

Yeah I've seen parked cars there the last few times I've been out.
I am a little more concerned with the waves because a friend will be borrowing my zodiac. I guess if he really wants to go out, he can always swim it out beyond the breakers. |

Nate, The pier is calling for 3-4 footers, so I'd guess the launch will probably not be bigger than 1-2 feet.

See above link. Based on the forecast of predominant swell of 6 feet at 7 seconds (short period = bad), I would say Saturday morning at LJ Shores coould be a pretty "wet" launch. As of now, its blowing 20-25 mph at Point Conception, and could bring the windswell up quickly by tomorrow AM. Go anyway. "Its just water"

Good point Larry. The short interval days make it tough to get out dry. But it is just water.

yeah I'm not worried about a diver getting wet at the launch. I just don't want it to flip him. He dives from a kayak up in Norcal, but launching a zodiac is new to him.
So if you guys see my zodiac out there on Monday-Wed. it will be my buddy Harold AKA "Fuzz" on various fish and dive websites. Nate |

I came pretty close to getting stuck on my way out today. I had to back up to the harder sand so I could get some speed up, but I hit soft sand sooner than expected and barely made it through. Taking my car on the sand was a poor decision on my part.
As for the surf, it was kinda ugly when I launched at around 3:30 pm with some nasty sets, but when I landed around 7:30 there was almost no surf. -Patrick |
