At 11 AM today it was sunny and 60° in Avila Beach with a steady breeze from the SW. The water was very clean with a SW chop that had a good push to it. The water temperature is holding at 58°.
Duke was going to swim to the end of the pier and back. David and I planned to swim to the end of the Avila Pier, over to the second crossbars on the CP Pier and then see what looked good once we were there.
The chop put some interest and involvement into this swim. From the end of the Avila Pier to the second crossbars was across the chop and I was getting pushed to the right the whole way. The leg to the end of the CPP was into the chop which was less complicated but seemed to take forever. The leg back to the Avila Pier had the chop giving us a push almost in line with out route.
When we were back at the end of the Avila Pier I went in and David swam to the 4th buoy on the east side and back along the buoys before coming in.

Duke, enjoying a nice post swim afternoon at Avila Beach.
While Duke and I were hanging on the beach two whales did a slow swim by. They were not much further out than the end of the Avila Pier. I have heard that they are around in Shell Beach but had not seen any at Avila so far this year. 🐋
This coming week I'll be swimming at 7 on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday and at 11 on Sunday.
