That is the thing, people made very bad choices going out that day. I was there at 5:30, got out of my truck and immediately said no way to heading out. At the time I pulled up there were guys launching into that howling wind.
La Jolla isn't going anywhere, you can always go out another day. Better to be safe than to put your family through the pain it would cause the if you were lost out there.
I hope you all have a great Christmas and many more days on the water.
