The Heart of Saturday Night

Always like having my ukulele nearby if only to entertain my dog, Frida. I've been showing up at the Capitola Esplanade on Sunday mornings for some cool kanakapila (beach jams) with a joyful group of ukers, singers and more. Check it out if you're in the neighborhood. Bring your instrument. Fun starts at 10.

There's a nice little break at the nearby jetty. Bring your board, too!

September Sunrise

62.5 degrees

Record high water temp, according to the brave swimmers who enter the ocean every morning at Cowells Beach for water recreation sans wetsuits.  I believe the record refers to water temperature in the morning this summer.

Couple of days with air temps near 80 degrees and the shallows warm up nicely. Definitely felt over-dressed in a 4.3mm suit.

Labor Day weekend coming up... likely to bring large numbers to the coast. Two hurricanes in the Pacific should bring some swell and liven the festivities.
