Anyone been down to Big Sur the past few weeks?  First time bringing the kayaks down on our annual camping trip.  Looks like it should be pretty calm during the next week.  Gonna try Limekiln first on Tuesday morning at 8.  Open to any suggestions and advice. Little worried about shore break but I don't melt and the best thing about my kayak is I can stow everything away!
Hoping for the best, crossing my fingers the ocean doesn't keep the kayaks on the rack.  I'll do a report when I get back.

Haven't been to Big Sur in a while but Limekiln is a great little spot. Nice lings there! Just be careful of the surf launch if conditions suck. It's also a steep beach and if there are waves, it can get hairy.

Well the ocean was calm and my sister and I caught plenty of rock fish. My sister did well for her first time on a kayak. We were limited on time so we kept enough for dinner and had an easy landing on the beach.  Glad the ocean cooperated that day.
Definitely gonna fish out of Limekiln again.

Thinking about going down that way next week also , I am taking three days to make it a kayak fishing safari. Does anyone know if there are halibut down there?

I have no idea about halibut out of Big Sur. Limekiln has plenty of lings and vermilion if you paddle north to the point a mile and a half or so.  We caught a calm day but I could definitely see a swell and wind making the launch and landing dicey.

Maybe not the best place to take my beginner wife.

Mill Creek? I've read in this forum that it's the easiest launch.
