For your first time: If the surf is low, which it will be push your kayak into shin deep water, get in and time your paddling to get through the surf without taking waves to the face or putting yourself in front of a breaking wave. You'll be fine tomorrow but this is good practice for those days when the surf is 4-6 and you REALLY want to get out there. You'll learn from both your victories and failures.
Good luck & tight lines |

I hear the beach landings are harder. Any advice there?

50 years ago my little brother built us a couple paddle boards to fish from. He put a handle on the stern. Time to come in we would slide to backend of board and hold on, never had a problem, can't see why it won't work with kayak. You get wet but would be safe.

 a bit of practice in the surf with no gear is a good way find out what works. lj is a fairly well protected cove, its rare for the surf to be over 2ft. |

I am planning my first go out tomorrow at LJ also. Will be there as early as 5:30 or so. Would be cool to paddle out with someone else also.

As for landing, wait outside the breaking waves and try to get some timing on when they are coming in. Patience is key and just wait and time them out. Small waves Sunday so may not be much to wait for. Don't ride a wave in as it will most likely push you sideways and roll you - rather paddle in between the waves as they roll in. Best to put all rods down and not in the rocket launchers. Enjoy the day! |

I will probably be there pretty early. Green Malibu. Don't worry about or lose any sleep about the launch or landing tomorrow, It should be real easy. On channel 68 as always.
