I keep an eye on National Weather Service Marine Forecast... You can get their info in bunch of places... Weather.com, or directly from them (this is for SAN MATEO POINT TO THE MEXICAN BORDER )...

Wind is the worst… Know what the forecast calls for, check it real time before you go. Torrey Pines Glider port seems to be the best for the real time wind at LJ… Chris put up a link.

NOAA buoys are the best bet for checking real time swell conditions, the links are above… For LJ, the Scrips Pier one will have the most relevant info… Keep in mind the swell at the launch will be smaller that what this buoy reads most of the time. With NW or sometimes W swell, it may be the same…
