Water temps at San Diego/Cortes Bank?

[diveguy1]

I'm heading out to the Cortes Bank next week (on the Horizon), and have never been out there before. Can anyone give me an idea of the water temperature this time of year out there? I'm thinking it's in the mid-60's, but if it's much cooler I'll probably dive dry.

Let me know... if you know

Maybe mid 60's on the surface. I would imagine its in the 50's at depth, but I really don't know for sure.

well it was 53ish at 70ft on the coast tonight so I would say...bring the drysuit.

Mid to low 60's at the surface and high 50's to low 60's at depth. I use a dry suit unless it is tropical. Since you have one, use it.

I just returned from diving the Cortes Bank and San Clemente Island. Water at both locations was 64-68 degrees, 60'-80' visibility and great diving conditions.

Go diving!
