32°59'59.3"N 117°16'41.7"W Here's one of my launch spots it has a really good channel I would be willing to teach anyone how to time it I have been surfing this spot for years....Let me know if anyone hooks up!

Fullflavorpike yes definitely enough to get a kelp clip on out there

Ccatcher I would highly recommend you don't paddle out through cardiffs river outlet there's a pretty brutal beach break most days in there and no real channel

The eyeball test indicates this little section of Cardiff beach usually has smaller surf, too. Big breaks north and south, but looks mellow right in this exact spot.

Ever launch there?

I might try it with dive gear first, everything in the hatch and nothing fragile in case the world goes topsy turvy.

A little closer to the Pacific Coast Grill restaurant is a better spot, especially coming in. I used to do it all the time when the area was open to fishing. But now, this area is a no hook and line boat fishing zone from Seaside to Moonlight

I wouldn't recommend going out through that spot the inside breaks pretty hard

but then again if you time the weather right any spot is make-able

There's plenty of better spots really close to here 33.025447, -117.287220

you can't really tell just by looking at the Ariel shot on this one but theirs a

really good channel at these coordinates

And as for the closure I thought the rule was you can only take pelagics from

tabletops to swamis, meaning wsb and yellows are fair game
