La Jolla - How To Find Surf and Wind Conditions - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Windy.com has been the most reliable for me for wind conditions (although it is even harder to predict than the weather).

If you have access to Surfline.com, then you want to check for La Jolla Shores. But you can even take that with a large portion of salt. The launch is well protected, and will kill swells from most directions. You might want to be cautious on days with multiple swells over 3', short interval swells (under 9 secs.), days with a decent swell (up to about 5')out of the WNW area or days with large swells (over 5') anywhere from the West.

If you don't have Surfline access, try NOAA Marine Weather Forecast marineweather.gov
