Last long swim in the ocean

Today I swam from our condo to downtown Long Beach and back, a distance of 11.2 km in 4 hrs 29 min. Water temperature varied from 15.5 to 16.5 degrees C. It was sunny and the air temp go up to 19 deg C. The waves got progressively bigger, slamming into my right shoulder on the return trip. At a couple of points, I had to dive through a wave before it crashed on me. The waves kept pushing me into the shallower water and it seemed like I was constantly swimming through the surf trying to get to calmer deeper water.
