Gulf water temps

Looking for an idea of water temps in the Gulf at Panama City. Taking a group down in a week & they are asking about exposure suits.

80's 1mm usually works for me

I'm diving in the morning out of Panama City. I was told 80's and will confirm when I get back.

I think you can look up noaa buoys in the gulf and read them or the sea data

NDBC - Florida and Eastern Gulf of Mexico Recent Marine Data

Boat did not go out today to sea conditions. If it's better tomorrow and I get to go out I will update.

It was still a little rough today so they kept us to sites closer in and not as deep. Deepest I could get without digging in the sand was 63 fsw, coldest the water got was 82. Air temp was in the 90's, surface temp of water 93...

Couple weeks ago, jetties at St Andrews were low to mid 80's I believe. I'll verify on my computer when I get a chance. Shorts and rash guard under my BC only for me and I was fine down to 70ish feet.
