BWE is mostly a San Diego based kayak fishing forum. You'll get some OC and LA guys here and there. Ventura county folks are few and far between. I would look into
https://centralcoastkayakfishing.com/
Even if you don't get connected with folks up there the launch spots for rockfish are accessible with a PA and the rate of success is higher than some of the spots you mentioned.
Then once you build your confidence up you can try your local waters again.
