LJ 6/9 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Surf was nasty. I got down there at 8:30 and the waves were coming fast about 5 seconds apart. I checked the webcam before i left but way different in person. I was timing them debating unloading my kayak and about every 4 minutes a large set about 5 feet would come up out of nowhere and breaking past the buoy string. While i could have got out i did not want to deal with that coning in and left about an hour later. Water felt unusually cold too

We got nailed by a bump in the surf, but it's already subsided, at least according to the CDIP buoy reports for Scripps and the Torrey Outer buoy. I noticed the surf come up around eight thirty. I was sitting around in 100' of water of the condo, and suddenly I couldn't see anybody as I dipped into the troth of a five+ foot swell. That kept up, and it annihilated some La Jolla Kayak Tour groups even worse than it got me.

Should have added that H2O temp was a frosty 62 degrees all morning as well. Darrell's intuitions proved correct.
