What to expect
Honest take: November is not the month for Channel Islands. September and October often have the clearest water and calmest days of the year, which makes this a great time to kayak the sea caves.
Book the boat (Island Packers, from Ventura or Oxnard) early, and bring everything, including water. There's nothing for sale on the islands.
