Rough Day at the Beach

We ventured to the beach yesterday. While that does not seem to be an out of the ordinary occurrence, it was not a perfect beach afternoon.

The weather was a bit raw, temperatures in the low 70s with a stiff wind, some rain, and 4-6 foot swells with a strong rip current. It was not the kind of day that even surfers were enjoying. There were a few brave crazies out in the surf, but the waves were inconsistent and we did not see many good rides. 

Swimming was not advised and the red flags were flying. 

The sign at the beach entrance did not give a water temperature, but it felt colder than 70 degrees when I tested the waters with my foot. 

The most fun that I had during my beach visit was taking an image of the sea foam. Yup, really. 

OK, maybe I really enjoyed taking a nap on the beach while I was dodging raindrops. Yes, a few clouds passed over and decided to share their moisture with us.
