Winter has arrived in force here in New England and we're planning our April vacation trip to distract us from the cold outside. We're avid body surfers and wondered if Boomer Beach in late April will be built up enough for body surfing. What can we expect in terms of water temps at that time of year? We're obviously used to swimming in pretty cold water up here but we spend most of summers body surfing on eastern Long Island where the waters are bit warmer so anything close to 70 degrees is warm for us.
Thanks

I went skiing for the holiday so I haven't seen it since I swam on the 23rd (small surf at the shores that day, bigger at the cove). Big winter surf is not conducive to swimming unless you like surfing too. The rips and currents pull you sideways towards the big stuff so you have to be prepared to swim the largest waves you see before you go out. Still I'm ready for it when I get back now if I can find a few more swimmers ready to brave it!
