Go thru the gate and down the hill and go right past the life guard tower towards the bathrooms and park as far south as possible and launch from there. It's a steep smooth rock beach and easy to time the swells. Summer is usually mellow as the south swell misses it. Paddle straight out to a depth of 40-60 ft. I had a record calico catch there last year before the red tides with 16 landed....2-4 lb'ers on average with a 6 lb'er on the high side. Lots of bonito and barracuda action further off the kelp for fun and a couple of small WSB just shy of keeper and have spooked much larger ones hanging out in the kelp. I've even landed a few small Halibut just off the sandy beach north of the life guard tower. By far the most productive spot from Cabrillo to County Line for me.
