Oceanside Pier Big Waves Friday Late Afternoon

After trying to swim on Pendleton and finding the beach closed there, I went to the Oceanside Pier and swam around it. "The waves were going off," as the surfers would say. The water is beautiful, an aqua green color with very defined large sets of waves, some with great shape. I saw sets with waves up to 9 feet today, many in the 6-7 foot size range. I swam with the strong current running northward around the pier. It was warm and beautiful. Just beautiful!

I didn't have my camera and I'm kicking myself (figuratively).

Oh, by the way, as I was entering the water I saw an ocean swimmer in the distance heading southward against the current. Another ocean swimmer-yeah!
