Key Largo Water Temps March/April

[arkstorm]

HI, I'll be diving in Key Largo for the first time the last weekend of March and I am wondering what kind of water temps I can expect there that time of year?

Thanks.

High 70s/low 80s. A 3mm wetsuit is usually more than enough for me. I start to wear shorties around that time.

We went a few years ago, probably 2nd week in April. And we were wishing for the 5 mil. Temps were 73-74. Might be good to check the temps the week before.

Current temps are reading 72F. Great for coral, but too cold for me.

Windy as forecasted

I have seen water temps in the high 60s this time of year. Rarely happens but it does happen.

Thanks for the responses. I will plan accordingly.

This year I'd expect mid 70-ies

I just about froze there a month ago.

Last week the surface temp was just shy of 78 in Key Largo, a couple degrees cooler below. I was comfy in a 3 mil shorty. I don't put the shorty away until the water temp is at least 82.
