Bummer, hopefully you get your stuff back. I launched at about 6, and had to use the sidewalk to leave my loaded yak to park the car
. Water was rolling up the street at the peaks. I had an entertaining and wet launch myself, but stayed on top. There were pretty nice lulls between the sets on the return at about 12:30, but nice sets also. I happened to land during the lull, and it was a piece of cake. I was kind of surprised to see several other kayaks out there when I got back from the pier area making bait (with the surf up). Bait was good way out in front of the pier in 100+, just North of the reserve. |

If you haven't ever tried coming in backwards. I highly recommend it. After I did it my first time on a high surf day, I never went back to coming in front first. Even on low surf days.
You just paddle into the big waves and let the current naturally take you in. |
