Surf is big and you will get hurt trying to launch out of an tough place like county. Test it in a harbor or you will get hammered. In more ways than one.

We looked at Leo for about 45 mins. Long periods, but some sets closing out the bay. Went and looked at County. Worse. Bigger and tighter times. About 10 boats out. 1 yak. I pulled the plug on the beatings and we went north and fishing some break walls...not much action there unfortunately. Its been a slow go for the last 6-7 trips out.

When you demo your yak ask the guy who is selling it to you about going to County on your first trip.

I guarantee 100% he (good guy,)will tell you nkot to do it.

Go somewhere easier on your first time.

I have a friend who I would classify as a very strong paddler and I am sure he would pass on this launch date . Do yourself a favor and take your yak to Lj , bay , or marina if you need to get it wet. It is a high surf prediction for most of the so cal beaches. I believe west facing beaches are being hit the hardest ? There is what is called ideal kayak launch spots like Lj that have a gradual slope, and also the opposite . Places like county that pitch and dump fairly rapidly . The surf is probably 4-8 ft all of this week . If you want to have some fun , leave gear in vehicle for a few , and take some practice runs unladen . Leave waders on shore . Hope to see you on water soon .
