LJ LAUNCH? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

kjsdad619 · 10-30-2015, 10:02 AM

I'm on a gov't computer and with all the securities that are in place I can't get the LJ Cam up and all videos on web are blocked..Anyone seen the launch since these tides came and hung out with us this past week?

Hi Ryan. I just checked it out and it looks like it's really high tide. Close intervals and surf about 3-5 feet. The sand looked ok earlier and there was no trenches or large erossion. It looks like there is a fair amount of wind chop also. The weather is supposed to be better this weekend. I might hit it up on Sunday because I work tomorrow and weather gets worse on Monday and beyond. Good Luck, Mark

I watched two guys about 9:30 this morning trying to launch, they got beat up pretty bad and the last I saw them the pulled their kayaks up on the beach out of sight. I watched for awhile and did not see them try again. The waves were much bigger than normal and coming really fast. I don't know if they ever got out but I'm glad it wasn't me trying my first launch.

Appreciate it, thank you! I'll keep checking the tides..

Fwiw and I'm not saying it's worth much, but I tried to get past the breakers this morning freediving with a boogie board at Coronado and got smashed. And that's with protection from the nw swell. If LJS was anything like that there was no way I would take a yak out. Tomorrow morning looks fairly flat though.
