I myself wouldn't try taking a sit inside they the surf

But I would feel safer launching from a boat launch or protected type launch where you don't have to worry about taking a wave over the bow. A launch like the Coast Gaurd launch at Newport would be ideal. There are no waves and it's always an easy launch. Plus it's just a short paddle/peddle to the mouth of the harbor.

I took a two footer over the bow on Thursday that dumped a bunch of water in:/on my kayak (my fault- I wasn't paying attention)

A bilge pump would take awhile to remove that much water and if you took a second one shortly after the first and you could be in trouble in short order.
