I like #1 - very nicely done.
#2 is one of those places where the location looks great for some interesting wave/rock shots, but probably only comes alive at sunrise or sunset - I think the light is too harsh there, causing bright white highlights and dark shadows.
Go back there around 5am and take some long exposures - I think you'll get some great results.

Thanks. #2 is in Sydney though, so forgive me for not rushing out to try it again. 
The waves crash in there pretty hard though, the water's anything but calm. I'd be concerned about a long exposure shot ending up as a blurry mess. Thoughts?

That's part of the beauty of the long exposures at the evening hours.
I guess it depends on what you're trying to capture. Long exposures at the edge of the light create a super smooth look to the water. A 10-20 second exposure can be pretty cool because the water ends up having no discernible waves, just a smooth texture.

long exposures/graduated neutral density filters...

If you have to shoot in the middle of the day, you should get a circular polarizer. The blues in the sky will really pop. It will also make the clouds more dramatic.
I would spend the money on a decent polarizer. Most people can't see a difference in quality, but I can. I personally use Hoya polarizers. Get them at B&H. Don't waste your money on a UV filter. They were good for film, but useless for digital.
Got a couple, just haven't gone through them all yet.
coolio.
washington state has some of the most scenic lookout locations.
