Access to open ocean from Carlsbad lagoon?

Thanks for the reply. I'll definitely work up to surf launching. I imagine my first will be LJ, but I'm just daydreaming looking at different sections of the coast that have good conditions and the canyon of Cbad looks like a pretty fishy feature. I considered launching from Oside to get there, but it looks like a pretty long run from there to the canyon

Big ....just let your kayak go....it will wind-up on the beach and swim 🏊 in. I almost pulled my arm out of socket trying to hold on to my kayak. When its small you can hold on. And I always got off my kayak as soon as I could touch bottom. Chest high water at the deepest. I
also paddled in backwards when you see a breaker coming, just punch thru it and start back paddling again it's fun. I had ocean kayaks, scupper pro, Malibu double and a cobra fish and dive.
I can't speak for hobies, or other kayaks.

Thats why I get off asap.Some guys have been trapped under heavy kayaks no joke.
I also already took dive fins, would never be caught dead in the ocean with out them.
