Wave/Swell Data - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

TT5150... its a little more complicated. I've been a Surfline Premium
member since the early days and used 976-SURF starting in 1985 when
they launched it.

Sean Collins can say 8-10 feet and the La Jolla shores launch may be one
foot. Or, he can say 8-10 feet and the launch can be 8-10 feet. That's
the beauty of having a CANYON.

Generally, they are "pretty good" in general forecasting though. I live by
surf reports and use all of their LOLA advanced charts and tools regularly,
along with watching the buoy "actuals".

Bender - there are also "mixed swell conditions" in which case the
windswell will take over as the "dominant energy" and TPO bouy
readings will then err on the side of caution for the LJ Shores launch.
Big Rock, where I launch, is another story entirely.
