New to the West Coast, Looking to get out an fish!

Thanks guys, I'm pretty excited to be out on the left side. I packed up my dog, some clothes, my kayaks, surfboards bike and rods and said, "just go west."

I'm staying with some family in La Jolla , windnsea area, and looking for a place in Northern PB. I was going to launch out today and just paddle around, but the surf was a little bigger than I'm used to, and I wasn't sure of the fishing grounds, some internet searching showed it was all protected and I'd rather be safe than sorry.
