Ditch the wetsuit, water warms up

September 2nd, 2009, 12:06 pm by Laylan Connelly, staff writer

I went out for a quick morning surf at Blackies this morning, and couldn’t believe how toasty the water was today.

Just did a quick check with lifeguards in Newport Beach, who said water temps are clocking at 72.5 degrees.

Down in Laguna Beach, temps are at 71 degrees, and in Seal Beach they are ranging from 68 -70.

If you’re headed out for a surf, definitely leave the wetsuit at home. And if you’re gearing up to go back to school, head out to enjoy the warm bath water! The air temps are baking at the coast, find out more on Sciencedude’s blog.

Here’s some snapshots of Newport this morning:
