How this leg runs

A scenic SoCal coastal run from Dana Point's harbor down toward San Clemente, with reef and bluff sections that narrow your exit options as you go — worth a look at the map before launch, not just the wind.

Safety notes

Check harbor traffic, reef/rock sections, kelp, surf zones, and landing options. Avoid offshore wind.

Rescue & exits

Plan pickup before launch. Exits become more limited around the reef and bluff sections.
