Half a mile offshore? And they didn't just swim in?
They had to have been farther off... |

Sounds like a tandem. If so, multiply the challenges of two peeps climbing back on in rough water. These people probably had some clothes on, water a bit on the chilly side, winds, lost some gear or had it all hung up and dangling. MUCH BETTER to make the call sooner than later. I'm thinking you probably don't have much experience with LJ's current... Jim |

Small craft advisory today, why would you even go out. There is always another day to go out. We see a lot of people get in trouble because they get out in conditions where they overestimate their abilities and underestimate they power of the ocean.
Good to hear they had on PFD's and had safety gear at least.

Kayaker rescue La Jolla
The worst weather and condition I have ever been out in was in LJ (right John & Jemie!!) and the best condition I have ever been out in has been LJ... That should should tell you a lot about LJ and how conditions can change..
That being said, I don't understand why take the risk but I'm sure they had their reasons.. Heck even the rental shops didn't let people out which says a lot.. |

Apparently, they are safe. That's the important part.
In the meantime, it's a good lesson for all of us. Live and learn.

I looked at the cam today and saw whitecaps but I didn't see anyone launch[I[/I], the surf was pretty rough also. Didn't look like a good day to be out in any small craft.

It was insanely windy today. Today was supposed to be my first LJ trip, but got to the launch and NOPED out. Not worth the risk one bit.

Stuck- check out the webcam before you even start loading up and then check wX and cam again before you head out. It'll save some headaches.
Also, wanna hit LJ some time next week? |

And yes I have tons of experience in la Jolla. I'm sure Ive experienced much stronger currents surfing the cove when it occasionally breaks than when I'm fishing it off of a kayak... Or swimming through churned up water at horseshoe after breaking a leash and having my board go to shore. |

edit: also having surfed la jolla my entire life, i dove the outer kelp a month ago and the current was so strong when i got off my kayak i was 30 yards away within seconds. its a lot different in open water guy. You surf horseshoe? thats cool....theres channels on both sides and the inner reef is forgiving as well. you must not fish often if you've never seen so much current that the kelp disappears. its cool though, keep talking like you didn't just pick up a kayak and luck into some yt in the easiest year to catch one in your lifetime.

Guys, protect your passwords! It seems that some 12 year old girls have hijacked the thread.
