I've never been to Ansell point before. Is there sufficient parking? What's the best direction to head in (other than down) to see some cool stuff? Please use North-South, not right-left.

There's enough parking for maybe 4-5 cars. It's a relatively easy dive, although the entry is a bit tricky. Best time to dive there is at high tide so that you're not scrambling over too many rocks at the entry.
Ansell is a true wall dive. Head south (left from the entry) and you can go down as deep as you want, although the best stuff is around 60 ft - lots of anemones, and look in the crevices to find rockfish, sculpins, and octopus.
If you head north (right from the entry), you'll find another wall that's more of a steep slope. Again, the most interesting stuff tends to be at ~50-60 ft. Lots of sculpins if you look closely. The time to turn the dive is when you run into the sewage outlet pipe. Mmm - warm... There used to be a couple of wolf eels living under a large boulder at ~70-80 ft in the middle of the sandy slope, but they haven't been seen for quite a while.

The one at 70 feet is still there as of July 8th. It swam right out of the hole and hung out with us for quite a while. Very friendly.
I am going to look for the pair that is about 20 feet deeper on Sat.
