TOO MANY NICE DAYS IN SAN DIEGO TO FISH ONES LIKE TODAY. DON'T RISK YOUR LIFE FOR A FISH!

Moyer, my thoughts exactly!

And tomorrow will likely be huge residual surf. Too huge to launch.

Here is a link to my Shores kayaking conditions page, which contains a
bunch of good links related to La Jolla Shores area, along with experienced commentary:

I posted this link along with a wind/conditions warning last night.

Hope this link helps.

Rule #325: Just because someone else is paddling out does not mean its a good idea.

Thank god you two got back with your lives. Dumb idea to launch today, I hope you're more careful next time.

The YT strike back!

Sounds like it was a Massacre out there!

You two who? Yes, not a good idea to launch. The first mistake was launching, but I am full aware of my limitations in my kayak. Atleast I had the common sense to turn around unlike many others who waited until it was too late. I think I went about 200 ft. and called it quits. Today was well beyond what anyone could or should handle. I think that rule #325 says it the best. My launching may have encouraged others to do the same and that sucks since not everyone knows when they should call it quits. I know that I will not launch again when the wind is already that bad and expected to get worse.

And for the record, I never launched. Im not sure who you are talking about. I did stick around to help the guys who did launch pull their yaks and gear in.
