Hmmm, DeHaven is an interesting one, what’s drawing you there, Paul?

Only thing on my list is to find out Nowhereman’s secret west-side hali spot.

I once went to DeHaven to launch but erred on the side of caution and aborted because it wasn't calm enough for me.
I think you could drive through the campground, with permission or a pass, onto the beach and launch near some rocks that break the surf down to nothing...on a calm day. There's some other spots to launch but getting onto the beach, much less getting back up to the road, would be tough.

I’ve scouted a couple areas in that zone in the past and opted out due to prevailing conditions. I was wondering if a specific spot or strategy had been identified to make it more possible

We have to wait for very calm days.  When I scouted areas before, I noticed two options.
