Wednesday, the water was 70 degrees, which is about as warm as it gets around here. For late October, that is ridiculously warm. Wetsuits not required!
I guess the wind churned up some cold water, because today, Friday, though the air was hot, the water was ICY! 61 is only 9 degrees colder than 70, but feels like swimming in ice cubes.
Perhaps we'll get last blast of warm water, but it seems doubtful. Wetsuit season is sadly upon us.
