A beautiful morning in Avila Beach. It was clear, 55° with the usual light offshore breeze. The surf was two to four foot and soft. I did the Reef Buoy Poly Pier Route.
When I left the second crossbars on the Poly Pier the offshore wind kicked up so I had a 12 inch chop pushing me out to sea for the last leg.
My new thermometer read 55° at the end of the Poly Pier. I want to say that it was colder but I'm having to recelebrate after several months without a thermometer to fact check what I was feeling and thinking. Getting in this morning, the water felt cold, but not brain freeze cold, and after I'd come even with the end of the Avila Pier I was well evened out and knew that I was not going to get colder, which is right for the upper-middle low 50's, or 54°.
We'll see what Tom Lorish's toes tell him about the water temperature tomorrow.
I'll swim Thursday and Saturday at about 7:30.
