I don't need to whistle for them to exit
Well considering I've actually swam in the ocean there more than you I'm sure and have been surrounded by the same people also swimming for well over 10-15+ minutes that simply isn't true. Feel free to ask this in the San Diego forum as well and see what people think.

Get your whistle

I very much doubt it, since unlike you I lived on the ocean.

70F(21C) Water feels quite cold to most people. Treat any water temperature below 70F (21C) with caution.

Can you find a local San Diego thread supporting your claims? Please share.

Lol why do I need to? I posted several links, all supporting what I said, and they don't link back to posts from CD homers

If you think 70 degrees is warm or comfortable you're either

1)Ignorant. Most common variant. Equating air temperatures with water temperatures.
2)A homer. Because you'd have to admit the water temps off San Diego are chilliest at their best, and dangerous at their worst.

No one is comfortable in 70 degrees. Some people may like swimming in 70 degree water, not because it's "comfortable" but because they like to push their bodies.

So you can't find any threads in the San Diego forum that support your absurd claims? Not surprised

But the water isn't 70 degrees then. It's more like 77. And people are still a bit nippy.

But in June when the water is around 70 in La Jolla cover? Just lol, no one is there.
Umm, it's rarely 77 degrees in La Jolla. During El Niño years, yes, but average? Hardly.

SoCal water temps max out around 70 in most every year. So your completely flat out wrong there and you can look at the table here:

The fact that people still extensively use the water even just in the summer months when temps are, on average, between 65-70 degrees shows how sadly misinformed you are.

I don't think people arguing that 70°F is comfortable, just that it's tolerable for swimming. Most people at the beach get out of the water off an on and when the waves come out, much of their body isn't on the water.

Anyone can be a homer - and claim they like 70 degrees to win some silly CD thread. And anyone can be ignorant and think 70 degree water is warm - because they think it should be warm.

I'm here to keep you honest
Lol. Anyone can be a homer, but there can only be one as delusional as you.

Btw, your posts, vocabulary, even down to some specific life experiences you've had are remarkably similar to a trollish poster we had once by the name of SDPmiami. Funny that he was banned/deleted his account 1 week before you created yours. You guys even have the same smug attitude.

If this is your argument, then you are arguing semantics severely. Do you even remember what the OP was about?
