Looking west from Fossil Point towards the Avila Pier
It was a beautiful morning in Avila Beach today. It was clear and sunny, 52°, with no wind, clean water and small waves. I swam from the end of the Avila Pier to the Poly Pier and back, then over to Fossil Point and back.
With the cooler weather I was expecting the water temperature to be below the 55° that Tom Lorish reported yesterday morning. Wading in was OK but my hands and face told me the water temp was in the low 50's. A quarter of the way to the Poly Pier the temp dropped one to two degrees and I began thinking that this would be a shorter swim than I had planned. I was more comfortable when I turned around at the P Pier. Coming back I was anticipating the temperature drop but it never happened. The water felt more like the mid 50's on the east side of the Avila Pier. On my way in I measured 55° at the buoy line. I don't know were the colder water was for the second half of my swim. 55° was fine by me.
