Ocean Swim, Sunday, July 3rd 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.

Conditions look good: waves 2-3 feet, SUNNY, water likely 61ish F (moderately warm), some wind. Come join us for good beginner conditions!

Two Notes:

First, wind has been higher than any forecasts, usually about 5-8 knots the past 3 weeks, so water has been choppier than expected/forecasted. But, it’s calmed down so far this week.

Second, warm water is bringing stingrays. Shuffle in, shuffle out, and you should be safe.

Oh, and 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!
