Water temp -5 degrees?

kind of? I know here in NJ we had a water temp dip over the weekend but it was mainly caused by strong south winds for a few days which causes upwelling of colder water lower in the water column. the souths were a result of Art.

 

Water feels about 53F, just got out. Painful to the hands at first, but you get used to it. The N, NE, E winds forecasted for Thursday should warm it right back up.

 

MV just got hit today with the temp dip? We got it all last week and had southerlies prior to Arty.

Guess you'll have to bump up to an 11mm wetty with NASA boots/mitts to compensate, bro.

 

it was definitely 'take your breath away' cold when i jumped in a few times over the weekend.

 

How cold did it really get in NJ? We had high 50s here but that felt fine after you were in it and there were pools of water that were much warmer. You guys couldn't have had lower temps than us in NE. Really?

 

I'm not sure about NJ but on LI it got down to like 60 or 61. I would guess NJ wouldn't be much diffrent

 

53 and 61 are entirely different ball games. I'll trunk it no prob in 61. Not in 53.

 

SW wind definitely cause cold water upwelling in Delmarva.

 

About a 5 degree drop (78 to 73) in VB as well. Noticed it over the weekend after the storm.

 

def bringing that 3/2 to the beach this morning....

 

of which is ground zero ocnj…..surfing today? its down further….

 

Water was down into the 50s for this morning's dp. Boots and gloves, or you were in pain. Most guys didn't last 20 minutes.

49 degrees in So. Jerz? You guys are full of it. Low 60s up here. But no more strong southerlies.

 

I went Sunday morning(even thou there were no waves)and couldn' comprehend my hands being cold in July.

 

Low 60s in margate New Jersey as of Monday. Might have warmed back up though.

 

No joke it was 49 degrees in Asbury this morning. Life guard asked me "how was it?" I stayed in for like hour and a half and I couldn't feel me feet on last wave. He measured it with a digital pistol. I thought I was being a Jennifer.

 

Warmed up a bit for the afternoon slop-sesh. Still needed a 3/2, but you could get by fine without boots and gloves. Crazy... In a matter of hours the water temp changed about 10 degrees.
