Swimmers take to unusually warm October waters despite botched forecast

Original: I'm mad at the surf report again for botching the forecast wind conditions, but never mind. Swimming occurred. Swimming!

A swimmer is venting about the local surf report getting the wind forecast wrong again, but the outing went ahead anyway. The water was described as surprisingly warm for October, possibly warmer than the air, with strong winds on the day. Other swimmers and a few surfers were out in the water too.

Why now: Unseasonably warm ocean water in October is drawing attention alongside frustration with unreliable surf forecasts.
