 Niel's Tuesday Morning Swim Report - 

It wsa a beautiful morning in Avila Beach so I decided to follow in Tom Lorish's wake from yesterday morning and swim to the Avila Rock today.

At 7 o'clock it was 56°, it would be 74° when I got in my car to head home. It was clear and sunny with a light offshore breeze. The surf was 3 to 4+ feet. The water was 59° at the Avila Rock and a degree or two colder near the Avila Pier. With just a small swell on the water the swimming was relaxing and uneventful. 

I couldn't find Tom's wake in the water but the rising sun was behind Avila Rock so I swam into the sun, missed the kelp beds and arrived at the rock.

I'll swim Thursday morning at 7 to earn seconds of stuffing and pie and on Saturday at 7 with  the group to work it off.
