GPS coordinates - GPS map points are no fun. You have to go to the Island and explore it and find breaks on your own...that's the beauty of it.

GPS? - Anyone willing to share additional information/GPS coordinates on waves around san clemente island? I fish a fair amount out there with my sons, and would like to do some quiet exploration.
Thank you.
