[The Penguin]

63.1 is the temperture at the bouy about 20 miles offshore.

current beachwater temp is fairly close to that but probably a bit cooler. If the weather stays warm over the next week - we might hit 65º (surf temp) by next weekend.

so far the forecast is for air temps in 71º range during the day.

 

[timbo512]

Those were water temps. I hope you're right Penguin. Daytime shore temps have been around 61.5 so far. We have 75+ forecast for the next few days, but there will be some showers forecasted. May cancel out the Sun and heat.

 

[Crab]

That would be awsome temps here, the water is 40 and the air maybe 50.

 

[QuickMick]

Lets just hope the sun is OUT and its at least 71 degree's. Oh yea with no sand storm either!!! Im hoping for more than 2 foot chop.

[subseawellhead]

God I hate cold water

 

[wayne]

took my first ride yesterday. water temps are below 60 here and it was not bad.

 

[timbo512]

Looks like a cold front is heading in this weekend. Air temps are only going to be mid 60's with a 30% chance of showers. Should still be a good time. Just stoke that bonfire like crazy. Just don't let an Aggie build it. It would start competing with the lighthouse.
