The calm, mellow sunrise….. gave way to shore break by the time I was going to go paddling.  What a switch! The lifeguards posted the red flags just as I arrived at the beach.  The tide was very high too so that might have been contributing to the surge onto shore.  The water visibility was worse than yesterday with all the shorebreak.  I ended up just swimming backstroke.  The water temperature is still 81 degrees!  It always feels good to get in the water…. hopefully conditions will calm down tomorrow….
