Niel and David swam at 11 o'clock. Avila Beach couldn't make up its mind between gray overcast and sunshine.  It was 61° with a light to medium gusty wind. The ocean looked pretty flat but turned out to be changeable. The water temperature was 13°C/55.4°F, down a bit from yesterday but nobody who remembers the 48° water just a month ago is complaining. 

We swam left to the end of the buoy line, to the end of the Avila Pier, to the end of the Cal Poly Pier, and back the way we had come. The wind picked up not long after we got in, the sun came out and the water got choppy.  We worked out way uphill to the CPP and surfed the chop back. 

There are still a lot of the Blue Velella wind sailors.

I'll swim at 7 on Tuesday and Thursday mornings.
