Anybody familiar with fishing Del Mar or Leucadia areas? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Looking to fish some spots a little farther north.. I checked google maps and saw some kelp off Leucadia and have heard of kelp off Del Mar... Any good places to launch from for either location? I guess parking and beach access are the biggest concerns followed by surf height..

cardiff reef and kelp to the north - launch right in front of Chart House there is a turn around to drop your shit and then parking offstreet in the early hours is WFO.

carlsbad kelp - launch from warm water jetties just in front of the encina powerplant.

pillbox at the end of lomas santa fe in solana has been great and has some cool structure too.

With the current swell situation both are going to be very easy launches for the next 5-7 days.

I attempted to find waves this morning and both spots had none.

There is a bit of a swell coming, so be careful. I've launched cardiff and seaside reefs plenty of times and know that it's not always the same coming in...
