Beach surf temps. Brrrrr


Recommended Posts

The jersey shore so far this summer has been great for sun worshipers but awful for swimming. Was down in aabury park and Belmar earlier this week and I doubt the water broke 60 degrees each day. Where's all the warm water at?

All the SW winds recently have been causing a ton of upwelling. Same deal on li it's been super chilly for the time of year!

I highly doubt the water is 50F in July.

 

 

New Haven station reported water temps lower 70s this week:

It worse, though further down the NJ shore. Atlantic City station reported water temps in upper 50s earlier in the week:

It really hasnt been that bad...ive been in the water every week

What beach were you at? On Tuesday at Asbury park your foot went numb in about 10 seconds of standing in the water. Atlantic city's temps were 59 yesterday. Belmar was no better on Sunday.

Hopefully this can change for this weekend

Who cares about the temp, I wouldn't go more than 10 feet into an ocean where you can't see worth a damn. Our ocean is dark, dirty, murky, and ugly. Plus, I value my life too much to risk getting my legs amputated from a shark attack.

don't take a boat out either

I was in the water at Seaside yesterday and it was cold at first but once you got in it was fine. Felt like it was around 70.

 

 

That's only because there was a large crowd of people around you who purposely held off going to the bathroom.

The cold water temps were a result of Arthur's upwelling as it passed to the SE a little over a weak ago. If it wasn't for Arthur most places would be at least in the low 70's. Ocean temps area wide dropped into the lower 60's/upper 50's the day after Arthur. They have rebounded a bit since then but still running cooler than normal.
