I was there Saturday (11/3). Surface was ~60 degrees. Thermocline was around 50 ft, where the temp promptly drops by about 6 degrees. At the bottom of the deep side, the temp was about 46 degrees. The thermometer by the tubes was gone for some reason, but it was probably 50-52 degrees over there.

Haven't been there for a few weeks, but based on past experience this time of year you can expect upper 50's to low 60's on the shallow side. Expect a sharp dip to around 45 or so at the tubes. 7mm is a good solution for this time of year as long as the wind is not blowing since it's typically warmer in the water than out.
I'll second that, I was there Saturday as well. My computer said 53 at the tubes, but I probably wasn't there long enough for it to completely equalize at the temp down there. The thermocline at 50' was quite pronounced. I did one dive without gloves, and my bare hands really noticed the change!

I was there Sunday (11/4) and my computer (it's an optimist) warmed up to 62 degrees in the shallows from the 57 degrees it had been reading in the air. We weren't deep long enough to get a good temperature reading with my computer.
