I check the surfline report and also check the webcam as a reference.

The surfer style forcast are good but I also check the NOAA forf cast for so cal inshore water. Another good one is the CDIP charts. Coastal data info page. Don't know the exact site names but google em. Mike

Whoa 130 miles! Bring your gear for the Calicos aswell, lots of us that are local put in MANY hours before we hook up what we're after. Good luck

wednesday is looking pretty good in terms of small waves. a weekday is great for less ocean traffic (but the freeways will be a pain). winds dont look too bad for wednesday either.

and as another member posted.. bring some calico gear. theres TONS of kelp everywhere and you can latch on to a stringer, and just drop down. i've dropped down with an iron before and hooked 6 different species of fish in the same exact spot within 30min.

Finally made it to La jolla on saturday. Bait was tough, dragged a Mac around for about 4 hrs then wham something took it went straight to the kelp and broke me off. Have a feeling it was a sealion, they where everywhere! After that went into the kelp and caught over 20 calicos and 5 sandbass. My only complaint....why did i wait to go to La Jolla on a holiday weekend
