Any kayakers have an opinion about max swell for launching at Asuncion?

I recall that ramp at Asuncion is pretty well protected . . . but I'm seeing 9-10 foot swell forecast for today, and wondering if that might break inside the point and make things sketchy?

I'm in GN getting ready to drive over. Boy it would/will be a bummer if I get out there and can't launch my boat! Save me if you can. I should be online for a bit

Now that sounds like a plan You figure the protection is better at the launches up there? I remember it was similar to BA, but a little less formal, with lobster fishing traffic whose way I made a point of staying out of.

Heading over! Look for a goof in a yellow yak if you're out there tonight or tomorrow.

What ever happened? Did we ever go kayaking? Were the swells that big. Were you brave enough to paddle out?

Nice report. Thanks Shari.
I had a few sit on top ocean kayaks. So fun. But difficult and a tad dangerous. Big water can be fun but very tiring. Landing is the important part. Launching is easy.
I still want to catch a kayak Yellowtail at your beach. My dream.
I think I remember someone there trolled up a Dorado from a yak.
I will be practicing at Crystal Cove and Newport Harbor.

Well now, was someone making fun of my trepidations about launching? After creating a full yard sale on Capitola beach some years back and damaging my foldboat to the tune of several C notes -- landing not launching as someone said -- I try to be conservative.

But it was fully OK at San Roque on 12/22, thanks for the tip Baja Boy! It was nowhere near as flat as your pics though, and camping a half mile back into the desert I could still hear the surf booming on the beach south of San Roque. Joke if you like; I'd like to see ya launch and land a yak through THAT chit brothers. I'll get out my gravity chair and popcorn.

The fishing wasn't as good as I've seen in the past around there, though I had a splendid wind-free day. Some kelp bass and a calico for dinner were all to speak of, this time.
