Like others have said, sometimes the uphill current is rather strong And hugging the shore, one can experience a lot of wave refraction if there’s swell too With good/typical conditions, and the wind at your back, should be a “BREEZE” :smt044

Thanks for all the feedback. Is there any way to predict/guesstimate the current? I was in Santa Cruz yesterday, and there was a stronger current (flowing generally east-ish) than I'd ever seen before (very noticeable when trolling). I was guessing that it might have something to do with a big tide swing that was underway (from -1.7 at 5:45am, on it's way to 4.0)...

--- End quote --- I'm trying to use my Navionics Boating App to find the current speed and it's based on a buoy. I love the arrows it shows and interprets around the bay then shows the real time speed at the time of the tide. I'm obsessed with current speed at the moment...there is a buoy in SC that might be of similar speed to Davenport... :smt006
KPD:
Sounds Like a great outing. I’ve wanted to do Pacifica to Half Moon Bay.
I wish the logistics of a one-way trip were easier.
piscellaneous:
I have a car with crossbars and a 2-level trailer and I would be down for either of the above mentioned trips. Another cool one would be SF to OP after picking up some live bait. Hit me up if y’all want to plan something. Cheers
