Tom's Christmas Day Swim -
Beautiful conditions and swimming at Avila on Christmas morning! It was 53° air temperature when I arrived at 8:45 AM. The swell had settled down but was still producing 6 foot plus waves coming in clean lines. The water temperature was about 53°. In the category of things you don't usually see, one of the support posts had snapped off the end of the Avila pier and washed up on the beach. See picture below. I had seen it floating out at the end of the AP on Sunday and it finally made its way to the beach where the harbor patrol pulled it in. And on the west side on the beach there were the biggest muscles I've ever seen in clumps giving the crows a heavenly Christmas breakfast! I am guessing these got pulled off of the pier supports during the big powerful swell we have had in the past week. Great morning swim!
