THURSDAY 4 p.m. OCEANSIDE HARBOR

The beach was rather empty this afternoon, which is what I enjoy.  Can the tide get any lower? The water was knee-deep at the end of the south rock jetty. Great for kids to wade around, but chilly without a wetsuit. 65 today, Few waves that one could even call waves. 3 foot maximum on an infrequent wave far out. I saw one guy get a good ride on that one.

Visibility is lousy, 2-foot max. Not a cloud in the sky. Just an easy bit of kicking out, hanging out, and returning. Very relaxing swim!

Oceanside CA Pier Swim

No pictures today but I swam around the pier after work today. No wet suit needed. I did wear the fins. A nice, relaxing swim in pretty clean green/blue water out past the breakers. Surf was good, about 3-4 feet, good shape. About two dozen surfers stretched out along the pier area, north and south. Plenty of room to find a wave today. More beachgoers than usual this afternoon. I suppose people are gearing up for the Memorial Day weekend.
