Avila couldn't have been much different today than it was yesterday. It was sunny with a gusty offshore breeze, 60° to 70°, the water was 56° and choppy from the wind. The swell was gone leaving us 3 foot waves. 

It was Niel, David, Jim and Tom Israel today. Because of Saturday's storm we decided to avoid swimming near the creek mouth and swam to Avila Rock.

Tom, Avila Rock, Jim, Fossil Point and David.

This was David's first swim out to the rock.

The water felt comfortable and warmer warmer than 56°. 

I'll swim Tuesday at 7AM and Thanksgiving Day at 7AM. So after you have that turkey in the oven come on down to Avila for the No Guilt Swim.  As in 'Yes, please, I'd like seconds and I do not feel a bit guilty since I swam this morning'.
