Los Alamitos or Cabrillo side?

[jorluivil]

If you've never been to Cabrillo and you're not used to paddling in high winds I would stay away or make sure you go out with a partner. Cabrillo sits just around the corner from Portugese Bend, when the afternoon winds pick up they whip around the bend and get can pretty nasty and challenging even in a Hobie. Every so often you will see the lifeguard boats out there when the winds pick up, they're not out there for an evening cruise.
