Ocean warming
From the Daily Pilot
Surfers are still wearing their wetsuits, but it’s getting closer to the time of year when they’re going to start showing up on the beach in just swimsuits or rash guards.
Ocean water temperatures increased by 10 degrees in two weeks, going from a relatively chilly 55 degrees to 65 degrees, said Capt. Mike Halphide of the Newport Beach Fire Department.
“The surf is clean, the water is warming up and even though it’s drizzling, there are at least 50 surfers along that half mile stretch near the Santa Ana River,” said Halphide, referring to the body of water that separates Huntington Beach from Newport Beach.
