I got in at 7 and swam around Avila Rock. Stephanie arrived later and swam the buoy line. The air temp was 53° and it was totally gray. There was a solid deck of clouds but visibility was more than 2 miles. The water was 52.7°F, there was no wind and the water was glassy with a big swell underneath. There were occasional 4 foot breakers. The clouds began breaking and the sun was coming out as I was finishing up.
The tide was high and the largest swells would break over the rock.
Today was a very beautiful and restful swim.
Stephanie and I plan on swimming Thursday morning at 7.

Tom snuck into the water this morning when I wasn't expecting for him.
Tom's Tuesday swim report: another June gloom day in May at Avila. It was about 57° when I arrived at 930, and the marine layer was thick. The swell had picked up from yesterday with solid 4-5 foot set waves. My toes put the water temperature at 53. With the warmer water, I was able to stay in for a longer swim, which included getting a nice push from the swell As I was swimming from the end of the CPP to the second crossbeam. Back on Friday.
