 Saturday's Swim Report - 

Niel and Jodi at the end of the Avila Pier

This morning it was sunny with a slight offshore breeze. It was 43° and the water was 57°- 58°.

The surf was 2 foot except for an occassional set of 3 to 4 footers. The tide was way out and the water clarity was excellent.

Jodi and I did a couple of triangles. The only thing to mention was that right at the end of the Avila Pier the water was temperature changed by a degree, wiht the water being colder on the west side of the pier. 

Next week I'm planning on swimming on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday at 7.

Tom's L's Swim Report -

Blue skies, and thin clouds, and no shark signs.  There was a slight breeze blowing east to west and the water was calm and beautiful.  The Easter crowds were flocking in and the parking vultures were hovering over any hint of a open parking space.  Beautiful morning Swim. 

The Beware of Big Fish Sign Was Not Up

When I got out of the water Thursday morning there was a destressed seal on the beach with chewed up rear flippers. The Marine Mamel Rescure prople had been called. Somethmes the shark signs are displayed when this happens. I have no isea how that decidion in made.  niel

The swimming conditions this morning were just about perfect. The sun was coming up through high clouds, it was 54°, the surf was knee high, the water was glassy and 58°- 59°. I swam over to the Poly Pier, in along the pier to the shore and back the way I had come.     

When I got out there was a distressed seal on the beach. It was alive but it's tail fins were chewed up. Marine Mammal Rescue had been called. Tom will let me know if the sharky signs are up tomorrow. 

The group will swim at 7 on Saturday.
