Ahh, 52F water temp. Delightful. Water temps are still in the low to mid
70's hereabouts.


Water was 27.8c in the river on the 9th when I did the state water
sample. (about 82f)
Salinity was 1.4 PPT. I thought my hydrometer was going to sink ;-)

Sounds better than 52 degrees. Hypothermia is not delightful. :-)

I live in an area where the ocean is always 48-55 degrees year round. Wet
suit for kayaking. Lakes are warm. Going to Clear Lake next week. Will
still be warm. Supposed to have first rain of the season Saturday.


Yup been there

Jacket and socks. That is arctic weather for me.

Colder than being in the snow

Warm water is closer to the Oregon coast than to our area. Albacore tuna
warm water is about 25-35 miles out around here, but only about 12 miles
out from the Northern Oregon coast. Different currents. Come to Santa
Cruz in December. Beautiful, sunny weather.
