About 3pm I was pleased to see some waves between the 2 rock jetties. The water was fine, the temp, in a wetsuit. Waves 2-4 foot maximum, poor-fair shape. Several surfers doing ok on both sides of the south jetty.
About 2 foot visibility. Surfline quotes 56 F degrees but much warmer, I believe. About 62.
A decent number of folks enjoyed the area, lots of dog walkers, but no dogs on the sand. I'm a hard-liner on this: no dogs on Oceanside sand. Use dog beaches wherever they may be. Del Mar is one and I heard Orange County has a dog beach.
I tried wearing a hard plastic neck brace today to prevent neck problems and it did. Pretty uncomfortable though. I kicked out past the big surf and hung out a bit, then kicked in. My wind is poor. Legs and lumbar feel good with the buoyancy of the heavy salt water but something isn't normal in my right side of the diaphragm. It is pushed upward for some reason. Who knows. I don't even know if it affects my wind or if I just need to exercise more.
A very pleasurable day overall at the beach. We're lucky to have it.
