So the air temp was 68 today and the water temp is 58-60 degrees. The sky was half overcast and the water was quite rough and disagreeable: just like me. Maybe that's why I crave it. There was a mild southerly current and pounding 2-4 foot waves. Pounding, white water waves. I wasn't sure whether I could get out through the surf zone.
The chop was 2 foot, washing machine, and an incoming tide. It took me 6 minutes to get through the surf. Then, swimming out continued to be challenging. Definitely no water craft to get in my way today.
Total swim time 32 minutes, which was a good workout pulling with the arms. Very few surfers and no visibility. I have photos but have to figure out how to get them posted. A disc popped back into place in my low back and I've had lots of pain relief.
