Daytona water temp in January?

[SJet]

I was just wondering what kind of water and air temp. Daytona has in January?

 

[felix5oh]

65f



. . . . or so.

Yeah, it doesn't get 'cold' since it's picking up water from the Gulf thanks to the east coast current. In Charleston, it would get down to maybe 55 in winter, and Daytona is quite a bit further south.

Hummm

Kinda chilly, eh?

So, I guess there won't be many bikini's running around?

 

[Sanford]

Kinda chilly, eh?

But good times.

I'm 4.5hrs south of Daytona and water gets about 71 degrees in January. Last year I rode all winter without a wetsuit. The coldest is Feburary and I rarely ride then (unless swells). Daytona water gets about 61 degrees in January and I'm gonna freak.

The water temp aint bad, its the air temp that will freeze your face off.

It's kind of like riding in Lake Huron in early June with the air temp being a little cooler.

I rode here yesterday, 55-60F air, 60-65F water, and just a 3/2 Slippery suit is plenty.

all you homos who want to whine about water temps... :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17: :17:

it's not that cold... 65F is barely wetsuit weather if you are not a sissy...
Christ, it feels good to me. In all reality, the water temp could be anywhere from 55F to 75F and the air temp could be from 30F to 85F... It's ********ing florida, ya never will know... Just get in your truck, drive here and ride....

It will be a blast either way...


btw-
:biggthumpup: always check the location of the person who is telling you that its freezing... you will see that they are all from N.Cuba (Miami area)

The water & air temp are great in January in Daytona. Last year event was nice. Chilly but nothing like up-north.

on the coldest day at last years event it was not a problem with a 3/2 mil suit. the temp shouldn't keep people away.
