La Jolla this coming Saturday and big WNW swell - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I want to get out for the first time in my stealth 14 so badly... Finished the work on it last weekend and it is ready to go.

I'm planning to get to the launch at about 7am. I want to see what the wind gets up to, I'm hopeful the swell angle will leave the launch at about 1-3, I'm more attuned to what the wind will be doing. If no go at LJ am going to switch to lighter gear and hit Shelter Island and tool around SD Bay.
Anyone else paddling tomorrow morning?

Just starting to load my gear, hope to see some folks tomorrow. 7am at the launch for unload and go from there.

Looking at the web cam this morning. Think your going to be just fine for this morning. Maybe 1' ankle slappers.

Launch was no worries, it was double over toe. The wind came up at about 10:15 and it got nasty quick. Made for a long and one sided paddle...was getting pushed south and it took a lot of effort to get back inside the preserve. Landing was the same....mellow. If the wind is gone tomorrow it would be perfect

I saw the huge car-dealership flags standing at full attention, blowing off-shore, and hoped no-one was trying to paddle against it.
Glad you made it back.
