I went to check out the water-not sure if I would swim-as usual. The tide was low, very small waves, hardly any surfers, and a totally flat & glassy ocean. Outstanding. I saw a dolphin heading south before I got in the water. Grey skies, sun setting soon-I got into my oversized, baggy, stupid-looking bathing suit, and got in. An older gentleman, walking his dog, asked me, "Are you going in?" "Someone has to," I replied. He nodded in satisfaction and went on his way. The water was cold but so clean and calm and beautiful. I estimate the visibility was up to fifteen to twenty feet.
I had a nice swim in the flat water, and did the pier in 31 minutes. Because of the low tide, my time was shorter. I saw a bunch of sand dollars on the bottom but didn't stop to collect them today. Too cold.
What a fantastic ocean at the Pier today. Glad I had it all to myself.
