If you haven’t gone for a surf in the last few days, then it’s going to be a bit of a shock when you get in the water today especially if you’re paddling out in the northern part of Orange County.  Just last week we had extremely warm water along the Orange County coast with many surf spots reporting between 72 and 75 degrees in the water.

Well that warm stuff is gone for now.  So break out a thin fullsuit if you’re grabbing a session in Huntington Beach or Newport Beach.  HB lifeguards are calling the water temperature 58 degrees while a few miles down the road in Newport Beach it’s 59.

If you can’t imagine throwing on a fullsuit in August then head down south to San Clemente where a pair of surf trunks will do the job.  Lifeguards there reported 70 degrees in the water today.
