How's the water feeling this week for you guys who have been out? Looking to come up to OC this weekend, and I know it was cold when Bertha came through, and it was pretty frigid the week before Bertha last time I was out.

southerly currents continue - bad for water temps.
its been cold...but I got used to it really quick after a bit of time in the water with just boardshorts on...early morning however, youll need a suit
omg freezing in nj...(at least where i am)
i nearly killed myself for paddling out in nj, my balls went away for long time.
why does southern currents make it colder? i would think if we were getting water from the south it be warmer...Originally Posted by Swellinfo

In a word, Upwelling.

While many of the examples are oriented to the west coast, the principals remain the same.

word MDsurfer. plus gulf stream is closer to the north, with a northeasterly wind warmer waters. in a word, downwelling. ha
Just got out tonight,A bit chilly,Wind was mainly from the south.The water temp goes up and down this year more then a barrel of oil.
We went out in Avalon on Monday and I thought it was the middle of winter. I could not believe how frigin cold it was. I got pins and needles in my feet and after the fourth duck dive I got a icecream headache. I cant remeber it ever being that cold in the middle of July. I hope it warms up sometime this summer.
