The area between the harbor and san clemente pier is said to be full of rock reefs (according to a warning to boaters at the DP boat launch regarding the area.)

The wind can be a tuff on the way back to the harbor as the day passes so plan accordingly. Also, watch for swell as low tides may cause waves to break from seemingly no-where.

drag fresh dead squid and who knows what you'll catch.
Great info...and so true about the wind when paddling back north late in the day.
