If you plan on surf launching (Not just lake la jolla) a wilderness systems kayak is a great choice.
Take it out without gear and have fun in the waves. Roll it on purpose. I had a Tarpon 140.
Coming out of a harbor you can almost get any yak. Just make sure it has a rudder. Look for a good deal on a used one so you can sell with minimal loss when you decide to upgrade.
