Using the RipTide to launch? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

So, 1st of, I'm a newbie. 2nd, I finally have my 1st kayak (used 2015Hobie PA14).

So, is it safe to use the rip current on shore to launch from?.

I've seen many different rips and a few come factors are;
- lesser size waves as compared to adjacent waves
- out going current to aid in launch
- current usually ends past the area where shore waves can be a factor during the launch process.

Any ideas always welcome. I never stop learning.
