Ocean Swim, Thursday, August 4th at HB Tower 9 (City Beach) at 7 am

Parking will suck due to the Surf Event!

You’re invited to our ocean swim: meet at (Huntington Beach City) Tower 9 off PCH & Huntington Street. Meet at 7:00am and in the water by 7:10am. Usually done by 7:45ish, depending on length of swim.

Conditions have been good recently, but some caveats:

Big south swell hit late Sunday. Looks like surf is peaking Tuesday/Wednesday. If it’s 6′ or less by Wednesday night, we’re good to go.

Water temp has fluctuated wildly. It’s been as low as 59 (Thursday, July 28th) and as high as 69 (about a week before that). This past Sunday (July 31st), it was 68-69.

Keep in mind that if there is a marine layer, it will make it feel a little cooler.

Come join us for good conditions! If it’s sunny, should be great!

One Note:

You can wear fins for extra propulsion and confidence through the waves.

We can escort you through the waves if you need help.

Recently, we’ve been swimming ~1,500 yards. If there are enough swimmers, we can break into 2 groups, with one swimming ~1,500 yards and the other 2,000-2,500 yards.

Water might feel a little cool to the uninitiated. So, pack a hot beverage to drink immediately upon exiting the water (not your car). This is more important than drying off. But, definitely dry off once you’ve taken in some hot fluids. At a water temperature of 60+, you should be fine with even tepid fluids.

We look forward to seeing you there!
