Man it's warm

We had an OW course a week ago in 68F water (at 30 feet). Yesterday it was 64 so I did my first every dive in Nova Scotia with shorty and reef gloves--thought I was on the Panhandle. Hope that doesn't mean lots of Hurricanes. in 2010 our water did hit 65 and next day Hurricane Earl blew the doors off our boat house (HERE- in NS......).

Water temp is between 74 and 76 here in San Diego which is not to common for this area. The first thermo cline temp is 64 to 66 at 30 feet no way I'm wearing my 8 mm with those temps. This is the hottest its been in a while I better get out there and stop posting before these warm temps are gone!

Yeah I was down that way (CT, Ft.Wetherill, NJ, etc.) in July. But 70s there isn't all that unusual, and quite normal in LI Sound by mid summer (in fact for the 7 weeks I'm down there all I bring is the shorty, as if the water's a little cool the 90F air temp. fixes that up). Not so here at all. The 68 last week was the warmest water anyone at the shop has ever witnessed.

I was doing some shallow diving inside NJ's Barnegat Inlet late last week. The surface temp was 81F, 79F at 30 feet. A Manatee was spotted a few hundred yards off Island Beach State Park a week ago. The surf has been like bathwater for some time now.

At 15 ft. June 26 it was 68 at Allenhurst Jetty. A bit warm for late June maybe. But 81/79 anywhere in NJ--As I recall from childhood that is probably a rarity, no? And a Manatee.....! Where exactly do you dive near Barnegat Inlet? Do you have to hit slack (high) tide (ei. are you close enough to the inlet for current problems)? Is daytime diving allowed in summer? Is it in Barnegat Bay itself? legal parking? PM me if you get a chance.

Surface water temp here right now is 87, LOL. It's not even refreshing to go for a swim...

Where are you diving in RI that you see that? I seem to be hitting thermoclines at ~10' or so at Ft Wetherill and Van Zandt pier...
