Access to open ocean from Carlsbad lagoon? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The first thing I would say is don't try it from a safety standpoint. The current by the bridge is absolutely vicious and depending on swell and tide you'd be way safer trying the surf launch. Second issue is you're not supposed to paddle in the front lagoon. People sometimes do it but I've heard of a few people getting ticketed by fish and game. Sorry to burst your bubble. I would do it myself as I live on the lagoon but it's just not worth the risk.
