Half Moon Bay

Hi All,
I am spending a few days staying in Half Moon Bay in June, and was looking for some info on swims I might do near there. I could easily rent a car and drive somewhere so am not limited to just that area. I would be well up for a decent swim, anything up to 8-10 miles I guess, and would love to find a swim buddy.
I gather the water is more like our UK temps up there in Northern Cal. What's it likely to be in the middle of June?
Cheers!

Anyway, there's a group that swims at the beach just south of the jetty in Half Moon Bay. Not sure of days/times. Also check out San Mateo Masters for pool workouts. I believe many of the same folks swim there.

My impression is HMB runs a bit colder, a bit sharkier than SF.
As @Sharko says, Aquatic Park in SF is a great option - an easy and beautiful drive from HMB.
Cheers,
