This water is effing cold

Summary
Not a waste, but certainly not what I generally like to get up to. So friggen cold I don't even know how it's bearable. Boo on local wind! Icebox duckdives boo!!!
Waves
Lots and lots of them. Local windswell. Cleaned up by the early morning offshores. Pretty closeouty, lots and lots of pretty painful slaps-on-the-face.
Crowds
Not. No one else out.
Weather
Sunny. Super friggen cold. Lots and lots of wind (initially offshore, later dying off, also killing the wave faces...)
Forecast
Looks dead. Looks flat. Looks like there won't be any surfing for a week.
Eventful Stuff
Holy crap this water is ice cold. Seriously, I would say low low 50's for sure, but I'd almost argue it's colder than the water up North in the wintertime.
Wave of the Day
Nothing spectacular but certainly one of the fun rights. Steep drop followed by one or two turns.

Summary:
Zuma, Malibu
5'10" Southpoint
7:00-8:20
2-4ft closeouty short period windswell
1+/5
