Ocean Swim, Sunday, July 24th at HB Tower 9 (City Beach) at 8 am

You’re invited to our ocean swim: meet at (Huntington Beach City) Tower 9 off PCH & Huntington Street. Meet at 8:00am and in the water by 8:10am. Usually done by 8:45ish, depending on length of swim.

Please note: weekend swims are 8 am, weekday swims are 7 am.

Conditions look good, but there will likely be medium to high waves. Forecasts have been all over the place, but Thursday, most sets were 3-4 feet, with some 5-6ft. Current medium. Has been SUNNY with low wind. Water was 61 Thursday, but with the low wind and sun, felt 63-64.

If you’re concerned about the waves, we are fin-friendly. As Tom mentioned, it’s the ultimate swimming hack, giving you quite a bit of propulsion for low energy input, assuming short-blade fins.

But, if you want to opt out if the waves look too daunting for you, feel free to make it a beach walk, beach run, or bike ride. We’re cool if you need an alternate plan.

The Usual:

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!

Come join us for good conditions!
