Tom,
When returning to the south bay from the berkeley marina, I spoke with the harbormasters office about this. They informed me there is an "approved" opening and I have gone through it once and it was straight forward.
Essentially, the space between the end of the "developed" pier and the ruins of the old pier, maybe a 25-35yrd gap. My guess on the size of the opening as it was blowing seriously when I last went through.
Of course, I would encourage you to call the Harbor Master to verify. The number I think is: 510- 981- 6740
Best,
Keay Edwards
