In la Jolla coming in, facing east.
When you get close enough to see the launch and surf.
South of the launch is a sea-wall.
You can gauge how big the afternoon surf is by looking at the rollers going down that wall.
The more white water you see the bigger the surf.
It good to know so you don't get lazy storing gear and tying or leaching poles. Keep it simple at first, the better you get, the more gear ⚙️ I think every kayaker has a list of gear lost, I know I do. First thing comes to mind is a buck knife that slid thru the scupper hole 🕳
