Clean Beach Again Today at Oceanside Harbor, CA


The polluted water sign was gone at the beach today, Monday, Martin Luther King Day. (My error...in my title, it should say yesterday, not today). So, that was 

something good about the day. The water was warmer; I'd guess 63 F, but the web said 57. I disagree.

I'm just simply kicking with fins to strengthen the low back. 




That's a low tide with 2-3 foot waves with lousy shape, just closing out. Several surfers, not worth the trip.

Not many thoughts in my head today. It's a national day of mourning...and I don't mean MLK.

Caution: Beach Contaminated



I feel that my blogger name isn't appropriate for me anymore, but I can't change it...yet....

I got in today and kicked on my back with the fins for a while. Crisp, cold water today. 

58 F. Ten minutes to get used to the chill. Visibility 3 feet. Waves a mellow 2 foot with a max of 3 feet

swell. Great afternoon for beginning surfers on a long-ish board. 4 real surfers between the two rock

  
jetties, and about 9 beginners/intermediates...the young females represented today.

I took a photo of the contaminated water sign. It's the sewage from the decades-old Tijuana sewage

problem and the sewage treatment plant on the US side. 

I've read that the feds are going to send $250 million to the US side, we'll see.








The middle photo. It's difficult to see.
