Love checking out the local beach at different states of the tide. I can see the path of the river, how the waves are breaking, where the rocks are and what the beach profile looks like. I find this change of perspective helpful for planning my swims as it makes me think about how these features might influence what I’m doing in the water. The path of the river and the state of the tide for example will influence my swim across the estuary. Can I swim straight across or will I get swooshed one way or the other for a bit?
