I used to launch from the lifeguard station in Guiverra Basin. I did that for almost 8 months, until Adi told be about Avenida de Playa back in 2005 or so.
It is a long Paddle, but doable. I even caught some fish along the way! North LaJolla is great but the south kelp holds fish too. The closures will greatly increase the travel distance to the grounds though...
I used to "sleep paddle" most of the way up. The tide can make a long day really bad if wind accompanies it. But usually is not too bad. An I-pod is almost mandatory.
