Low Tide Oceanside Pier Swim










The 71 degree water makes me lazy.  I swam slowly in a one-foot chop from south to north.  I studied the water for a while trying to figure out the current.  Lots of red flags were out by the lifeguards indicating inside currents but the distant current was difficult to figure.  The breeze was south.  I ended up swimming north and got it correct.  I stopped at the end of the pier and there was no current at all off the end of the pier.  Then a slight north movement inside as I came in.  I found some sea shells with the low tide.  It was a nice day out there today.  My training for the Pier swim is moving along ok.
