Around The Avila Rock - 

The Big Pool was wonderful this morning. I got in at 7. It was sunny and calm with 2 foot surf with an occasional pair of 3+ footers. The morning wind didn't come up so the water stayed glassy for my whole swim. The temperatures were 48° air and 53° water.  There was a minus tide at 7:38 so it was a short swim to the buoy line, a lot of Avila Rock was exposed and I had to swim further than usual away from the rock to avoid the kelp beds that were spread out over a wider area. 
At Avila Rock looking towards the Avila and Poly Piers and Port San Luis
 
Close to the rock cold(er) water from the bottom was being pushed up to the surface so it was a degree or two colder there.

I'll be back for more of this on Thursday and Saturday mornings.
