Too Offshore to Paddle

I packed up my car last night and was ready to go for a paddle before work.  Got up at 5:40 and was at Aliso Creek by 6.  It was the weirdest thing, I didn't notice any offshore wind until I got to Aliso Creek, where the winds were howling offshore and the temp was about 50 degrees.  Everytime I tried to get out of my car to put my suit on, I got cold feet and went back into my car.  Watch the sun rise at the beach and drove to the harbor to check it.  Snapped a pic and felt the wind was pretty strong there too.  In hindsight, I regret not trying and will go no matter what next time.
