I figure there will be a lot of traffic in the harbor and through & around the jetty, but what's the PB traffic like around kelp/boilers?

Its not that the PB's buzz you around the kelp, its their damn wakes on a holiday weekend that are non stop and large. Boat traffic usually stay's off shore at a relatively safe distance near the boilers and kelp, but the amount of traffic, not to mention weather conditions, that cause the swells to become very confused, large, and dangerous.

Thank you all for the help. We decided to postpone the trip due to the combination of weather and holiday boat traffic. We were looking forward to trying the area out, bummer. We will get there though. Maybe the next weekend after this one.
