On the pier well away from the shore it was over 90F (32C) and very humid and not enough of a  breeze to make a difference.  The surf was higher than I have ever seen it there, though I know it gets higher.  Many surfers but few making good runs as most popped up then popped down.  Some good runs made it worth the trip and sweat.
