All b.s. Aside.
I had similar experience when I first started kayaking . It was at b.k.r. . Winds supercharged through canyon at 30 - 50 mph . Very similar to county . I was 50 yards off shore and crapping my pants . I flipped in 2-3 ft surf when I landed . My blade of mirage drive touched sand , turned my yak and I rolled . I was paddling and peddling and making very little head wind . This experience humbled me , and I learned after that about checking wheather . The weather is or can be unpredictable . But the this situation was well predicted . Why would you even think of going out there in such conditions ? I woke up for work and was out door at 1:00 am . In the sf valley was was gusting 15 - 30 mph . Peddling in 12 -15 mph is doable , but paddling could be really exhausting . Given the harzardous wheather statement or outlook . Staying home could have saved the taxpayers some money on wasted resources . This would have been the wisest idea .
