We call it fog….
... when the marine layer is thick and low. See picture.Friday, July 26, 2024

On a different topic, and hopefully blog master Niel will include this in the report… I want to recognize and acknowledge the amazing ocean swimming that Niel has been doing over the years and more specifically in these recent months. In case you missed it, he celebrated his 74th birthday by swimming 7400 meters. And has been regularly following that up with four and 5000 meter swims on a whim. He is an ageless wonder. And if he ever offers you one of his birthday brownies, except it! They are incredibly tasty.

Tom's Swim Report -
Similar conditions to Wednesday at Avila this morning. Thick marine layer, slight breeze, water was calm with a small bump on it. My toes tell me the water temperature was 54, 55. The swimming was very nice.

The weather at Avila is such that I could use one of Tom's recent posts for my swim this morning;

Tom's Swim Report -
Heavy marine layer at Avila this morning. Or was it high fog? Are they the same? I don't know. I do know the air temperature was 60° when I arrived at nine 9 AM. It was low tide and the water was mostly flat with a slight bump to it. See the picture – looking out to the rock buoy and Avila rock. The water temperature was 56° – and the clarity was excellent again after a weekend of murkiness. It makes me think that the warmer water and the murkiness are linked together. But, that is just speculation. The swimming was excellent, though.
