F18 and Mission Bay Yacht Club (http://www.mbyc.org/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=13&Itemid=26).

Mission Bay is a great protected sailing area with nice beach and ramp launching. Easy access to the ocean. Winds are commonly in the 10-12 kt range, but rarely 18 plus. For a breeze... Long Beach is right up the highway though.
