I am hitting up PL mañana, if anyone would like to fish it, feel free to meet at Bermuda Ave around 6:20ish... Here is this mornings conditions scouting report...
OB PIER: Waves 1-2 ft, glassy water, occasional 3-4 crumbly wave came through. Very launchable. BUT, it appears there is a Long Board Surf Chick contest going on this weekend. First heat at 7:10AM, last around 2:20, according to one of the judges, that by the way was so bothered to answer my questions. We could launch before 7AM, but would hate to land in front of a crowd on the beach! Plus we may interfere with the chickies. :)
Orchard St: It was low tide this morning exposing the cobble stones at the launch. This launch/landing is not easy once it is high tide. Very technical, and we would be coming in at high tide, cobble stones are slippery.
Santa Cruz St.: Steep stairs, and a lot of them. This launch can be tricky, because on the north side cove, there are a lot of rocks to paddle through, and the south cove is sand but it is very steep, making it difficult to get on your kayak to launch, as well as land because any swell pitches up into nasty shore break.
Bermuda Ave: Looked the most launchable besides the pier, appearing flat. There are some stairs, and rocks, but I think it is doable. Parking may not be a big deal heading towards Ebers st east up the hill.
Given the chick long board contest, I will be at Bermuda Ave around 6:20ish tomorrow, hope to see some of you guys there. Anyone gonna show up?
