La Jolla hookup Aug 29 and/or 30th - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Flounder · 08-18-2019, 09:47 AM

I have a pa 12 does not go in well forward at all. Switched to backward landing and success rate is 100% over last year on not flipping in lj.

I will try coming in backwards. Unless the waves are small enough, then I'll charge forward.

Thanks for all the tips guys. Hoping to see some of you guys out there. I'll throw another post on this thread a few days before to see if anyone is down to meet up.

Tight lines

If the weather is good I will be out there Friday 30th. I'd be willing to let you tag along as many here have let me do the same.

Thanks Flounder. I'd appreciate that. Let's hope for good conditions.

I realize your plans aren't set in stone yet. But if they are, what time would you typically get to the beach, and what time do you plan on launching. If you do come I don't want to keep you waiting.

I usually arrive around 6 and launch. Waves forecasted<1.

It doesn't look like you'll have to worry about the surf on launch or landing. Thursday surf is 1' or less, Friday's forecast is 2' but the intervals are short at 6 seconds, that's the only possible issue on landing on Friday. If you charge the landing you should be OK, but like always look over your shoulder for that possible rouge wave that doesn't break early. No need to come in backwards, unless you like hanging in the kill zone. Good luck.

Yes I am happy with the swell forecast. I have been keeping an eye on the surf cam from the La Jolla Tennis Club and correlating what it looks like with the swells and directions at the time. It looks really nice out there. Conditions have been clean as long as I've been watching (as opposed to Texas which is usually rough and sloppy).

Getting excited. Hope to see some of you guys out there
