I like the beaches and Pier in Oceanside, CA. I like to be out past the breakers year-round when my abilities permit.

Friday Mid-Afternoon Swim Rough-Water Oceanside
I've been kept out of the water this week with pain problems-seriously jeopardizing my swim streak. I had off today for appointments so I got a swim in. I just need a swim tomorrow for the streak to continue. The water was rough today, with a big 2-3 foot chop to it. There was a strong current running north to south. I wore fins-essential for me today. Surfline still has the water temp at 57-59 degrees, but my head hurt for a minute or two when I got in. It was chilly.
The swim through the surf zone was a workout-took me 2-3 minutes.
The water had a pretty green color overshadowing the usual blue. Bits of kelp here and there in the ocean.
I swam north to south and the waves were big on the south side-not neat waves, but big, sloppy waves throwing me around. Fun. I sure needed the 35 minutes of cold and excitement.
