Thank you. Headlands North: is that towards San Juan Rocks from the harbor?

correct. wrap around jetty, head north...around that headland is a beach called strands. Further north beyond the next impression is salt creek.

that's a lot of kelp to cover. on your way in the wind should be a south wind to your back. Wind and wave chop can make for stupid/wet/slow ride home.

WInd around 11 mph is tolerable.

My experience is the exact opposite. I fish usually in the afternoons to evenings. Wind & chop is always to my face and making for a slow wet ride as I'm heading to the headlands, and a nice fast ride back in the late afternoon to evening.

Thank you. I'm just glad I know what direction to go. My buddy is gonna be in his folding Porta-Bote so I'll have support if need be. I've muscled thru some less than desirable conditions before so I should be ok. The forecast looks good so everything is a go.
