Niel's Tuesday Morning Swim Report -
Avila Beach had either high fog or heavy overcast this morning. There was no sunshine but I could see most of the way to the horizon. It was 57° with a light breeze and the water wsa 57°. The surf was up with two or three 6+ footers seperated by 5 minutes of 3 to 4 footers. There would be a 6.2' high tide in an hour and the big waves were already throwing spray up onto the pier. I got out by diving under one wave and swimming over the lip of the next one. I came back in at the long gap and swam directly to the beach, frequently looking over my shoulder to see if I was going to get caught out by a big sneaky one.
The swells gave the ocean's surface some nice character to work with. The lumps got larger the further east I was and got more out of the shadow of the breakwater.
I will not swim on Thursday morning, but I will be back on Saturday morning at 7 and Sunday at 11.
