I have seen days at the foot of Carlsbad village dr.....
Where the surf is ankle slappers.
It's the afternoon you have to worry about. You need to go with an empty kayak and play in the surf,so you get good at lauching and coming in. Gas must be an issue or you could do the smart thing and just go to la Jolla. Or launch in ocean side harbor. Who knows what you can take on, once you get good in the surf 🏄 always tight lines, you will see when you fish two poles in the wind.

Thanks for the reply. I'll definitely work up to surf launching. I imagine my first will be LJ, but I'm just daydreaming looking at different sections of the coast that have good conditions and the canyon of Cbad looks like a pretty fishy feature. I considered launching from Oside to get there, but it looks like a pretty long run from there to the canyon

If you ever find yourself coming in
Big ....just let your kayak go....it will wind-up on the beach and swim 🏊 in. I almost pulled my arm out of socket trying to hold on to my kayak. When its small you can hold on. And I always got off my kayak as soon as I could touch bottom. Chest high water at the deepest. I
also paddled in backwards when you see a breaker coming, just punch thru it and start back paddling again it's fun. I had ocean kayaks, scupper pro, Malibu double and a cobra fish and dive. I can't speak for hobies, or other kayaks.

All it takes is a one ft wave to flip you over.
Thats why I get off asap.Some guys have been trapped under heavy kayaks no joke.
I also already took dive fins, would never be caught dead in the ocean with out them.
