I usually launch from the dog beach inlet by the horse track. Flipped pretty bad coming in last weekend though, haha.

I was out last week in Carlsbad in front of the PP. I saw only 1 stringer of kelp. Lots of red crab though. No fish!

32°59'59.3"N 117°16'41.7"W Here's one of my launch spots it has a really good channel I would be willing to teach anyone how to time it I have been surfing this spot for years....Let me know if anyone hooks up!

Fullflavorpike yes definitely enough to get a kelp clip on out there

Ccatcher I would highly recommend you don't paddle out through cardiffs river outlet there's a pretty brutal beach break most days in there and no real channel

The eyeball test indicates this little section of Cardiff beach usually has smaller surf, too. Big breaks north and south, but looks mellow right in this exact spot.

Ever launch there?

I might try it with dive gear first, everything in the hatch and nothing fragile in case the world goes topsy turvy.
