For this week’s paddle, it was suggested by Jenny that we go to a La Jolla. The conditions are looking good for this, so I think it’s a great idea. The Scripps Pier forecast is for 2 to 3 foot waves at 12 seconds. That means something like half of that at the boat launch area. Wind at 6 to 9 mph. It’s going to be a cloudy morning with the sun coming out later. Temperature will be near 60 F.

Let’s go north this time and head up toward Black’s Beach and Torrey Pines.

Drop your kayak off on the beach at the end of Avenida de la Playa around 8:30am. Then find a parking spot, and we’ll prepare to launch around 9:00.

Disclaimer: We will have experienced paddlers on this trip, but they will not be responsible for telling you what is or is not safe for you to do. We watch out for one another and assist one another, but all individuals are responsible for, and manage their own safety. This responsibility includes assessing your gear, skill level, and physical conditioning relative to conditions and location, as well as making decisions about what you will or will not do. Participants acknowledge that kayaking on the open sea or bay is inherently dangerous and can lead to physical injury including death as well as property damage. Participants, on their behalf and on behalf of their heirs and assignees, agree to hold the announcers and other participants blameless in the event of such injury, damage or death. Please join us if you want to mildly stretch your capabilities, but please stay home if you would be wildly stretching them. Participants should have bracing skills, be able to self-rescue and assist in the rescue of others. They should be able to launch and/or land in small surf.
