10/28 Dana Point - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

when doho is 0-2 ft, it's easy peasy.

The thing I'm learning is to watch for the tides at this place. The high tide launch/return is easy. The sucked out low-tide does create a challenge: goes deep to shallow (shore-break) fast and a uphill slope. With swell, fun stuff.

Isn't difficult but it's still a surf launch and one rogue wave or poorly timed launch = yard sale. So never a bad idea to strap stuff down.

Not a good spot to launch if you wanted to go north. Better to launch from Doho (if you wanted to avoid the extra baby beach paddle or save $10 for parking at the boat launch.)
