Might want to look into that, unless you plan on staying in the harbor

My plan is to get to the boat ramp by 6:30 am.
Put kayak into water and then play it by ear. Too much wind that early I will stay in the Mandalay Bay area. If no wind then head out to break wall for as long as I can. Or just fish along the jetties and docks.
More the welcome come along.

I go there quite often and I always launch from Kiddie beach. There's a parking lot right next to it. I didn't know you couldn't launch there. oops . I'll probably keep launching there until someone says otherwise.

However just north of kiddie beach I see ppl launching there yaks from the dirt. (no sand along the waterway)

I launched out of there about a year ago and didn't really think anything of it. I was looking for other places to launch from when I came across the discription of kiddie beach on the channel island harbor website saying nope can't launch from there.
Years ago hobie beach was covered in sand. Oddly enough people would launch the hobie cats off that beach. Not sure where the sand went and when it disappeared as I just moved back there area a few years ago.

The boat ramp was nice.
Got there a little after 6:30 and the weather was ok. No wind a little cloudy. On the water by 7:00. Started making my way out to main and channel. I could see wind was picking up so I turned around and went back towards Mandalay Bay Area. Just paddled around for an hour.
