George, Do you think Clear Lake would be a wise alternate choice this week? Are the winds predictably good? Are there good public beaches?

Nobody went sailing, not even the big boys. That's pretty intimidating, too. If you do go, don't worry about being sucked into the Pacific. The prevailing winds will blow you southeast and unless you're around the entrance on an ebb tide, no worries. Mostly a sticky mud bottom, so no problem with anchoring either although you may swing 360 overnight on on a single anchor. I should have gone to Clear Lake. Maybe only a little less wind but a lot warmer.
