record water temps

sooner or later we will get some upwelling to chill it down.

 

wait for strong west winds during a couple days, then go out, itll be 10 degrees cooler

 

water is 80 down here...it's not even refreshing and I am sweating in the water.

 

honestly could care less about water temps. I NEED WAVES! but dropping ten degrees would be nice in this heat. the bay in OC Nj has to be around 80. disgusting....

 

i do hate lack of waves but i just got a gopro and ive been having a blast just throwing on swimfins and swimming out to just check **** out since the water's been so clear close to shore. i even saw a handful of rays today and its a first for me to be seeing them this early. always a pleasure to point them out to some idiot and watch them pee themselves

 

joe, I just got one too Im so siked. We need some waves though, even a clean 2-3 foot morning will hold me off right now.

 

I was in the water today and there were some spots that were so warm it felt like someone peed their.. Sorry for the childish explanation but that is as accurate as it felt haha.

 

try super flat and water about 84, thats what it is here in ft pierce!

 

Ought to help out those new shipping lanes in the Arctic.

 

school of dolphins in NY 20+ in Lake atlantic

 

the water temp so high cuz i piss gigagallons!

 

The ocean never got very cold this winter either. If I remember correctly, it only briefly got below mid 40's at 44009. I can't recall that ever happening before.

 

Warmer earlier this year for sure. Could see a bit of extra tropical juice this season.

 

The last two years have been rather odd. This past winter the water in NJ was the warmest I’ve felt in 25 years and was preceded by the coldest water I’ve ever felt the winter before. The warmer water has me wondering is this the year our number is up (northeast)? We are overdue for a hurricane beating.

 

did you already forget about irene?

 

ND, I didn't forget. Irene made a big mess and some surf too. I'm talking cat 3 + with gnarly storm surge making landfall in the tri-state area. I stayed on the island for Irene and if a MAJOR hurricane were on its way I'd be running for the hills literally. ND, Irene made landfall as a cat 1, have you forgotten the Saffir Simpson Scale goes up to cat 5?

 

i understand it could've been much worse, but irene really was a big hit for most of the tri-state area. it was actually worse farther north than on the island here. i agree we still haven't seen anything of the nature you're talking about but irene was close

 

Yes, water temps are anonymously high along the east coast.

 

The warmer the water temp the better. I hope it gets to the upper 80s. lol I don't know how anyone could find 80 degree water temperature to be "hot".
