I have long referred this subseason - between the false promise of Early Summer and actual Summer, which usually starts around July 4th, as Winter-mer. It was a classic Winter-mer day, with gray skies, howling winds and cold, filthy crashing seas.
Nothing however would deter the adventurous spirits - LTL and Mermaid Princess raced into the surf, where their cavorting and frolics proved irresistible to the Mystery Man, who soon joined them.
As the three bodysurfed toward shore, the gulls left their posts and circled over them hopefully, thinking these wetsuit warriors were actually some tasty new bounty being delivered by the waves...disappointed, they took up their stands again along the water's edge.

I believe winter-mer is the season that follows “sprinter”
I went around noon and conditions were much the same, except a little more sun.
