Thursday Swell Question - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I have created an LJ conditions link page, with explanations for conservative "fishable" swell heights.

Big swells with long periods (>14 seconds) don't really affect the LJ Shores launch at all - as the canyon walls will refract the energy to Blacks and the Point - but, will affect all other SD beaches greatly.

Big, short period swell (less than 10 seconds) can make the LJ Shores launch dicey.

Your mileage may vary.
