Crosshaven swimming this week

South East winds are making Myrtleville a little “textured” – as captured by Siobhan Russell at lunchtime yesterday.  We swam Crosshaven to Camden this morning and it was flat calm for a perfect swim.

With the winds forecast to stay SE, we will be swimming from Crosshaven for the rest of this week at 6.15am on Wednesday and Friday.  Meeting at the slip past Centra and Castlepoint boatyard.  Hopefully the forecast will hold and move back Northerly for Sunday’s swim.

Update on June swim times

It’s sunny, which is good – but means the beach is absolutely mobbed every afternoon.  As a result, getting down there even to park isn’t very easy.  Except for Monday evenings, we’re going to change the afternoon sessions to mornings for anyone interested.

Monday nights – definitely back this time

It might not have been pretty.  It may not even have been Myrtleville – but we’ve got our first Monday night done.  Fountainstown was the back-up after meeting in Myrtleville and deciding 100m over and back in the waves wasn’t too enticing.

Just one km away, Fountainstown was relatively calm and a pleasure to swim in.  Sea temp just over 9C.  We were fortunate to meet Paddy from Funkytown out for a spin on a stand up kayak, to give us advice on where to swim.  Good timing for us.

If it wasn’t for the lashing rain that started just as we came out, it would have been nice on land too!  Hopefully we’ll stay in Myrtleville next week, but it’s great to have the alternative.  Just four swimmers tonight, but Carol and Maeve will be spreading the word that it’s time to get back into the sea, I reckon.  Big smiles all round.

April – May swim times

Let’s just say that these times are in hope rather than expectation.  The clock goes forward, but with sea temperature down by nearly 1.5c in just ten days, it’s not Summer yet!  Currently about 6.8c in the water, with a nasty Easterly wind frothing up the sea.
