Here is an older post that discusses launch options in Long Beach:

I launch out of the coast guard station at New Port harbor. Its only a 1/2 mile paddle to the Harbor entrance. You can drag over the sand to the little beach launch or use the sidewalk. Nice restrooms and water to rinse off the equipment when you get back.

I have fished for rock cod several times there but don't know of any specific area. Mostly you just have to get out in 200 ft of water or so and look for the schools holding off the bottom.
