San Elijo State Beach - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

If the swell is down, find a channel between the surf spots along the campground. If you're close to the north end, there is a ramp, with an launch towards swamis.

If you want to hit the south end, and the surf is a bit tricky, launching south of Cardiff Reef, in front of the restaurants has a protective sandbar that is generally really easy.

Kelp is thick, and is pretty much contiguous from the south end all the way up to swamis up past boneyards.

If it were me, I'd work the entire kelp edge with a pair of greenbacks.

Decent calico fishing and a legit shot a good flatty and maybe a WSB. Live bait is never a problem out there.

Good luck.
