Unlike my arrivals on Monday and Wednesday morning's to an empty parking lot devoid of cars, bikes....or any sign of life for that matter....this morning I was greeted by a parking lot full of cars, bikes and scantily clad women enthusiastically jumping up and down. (Clearly there were celebrating my arrival, no?)
Unfortunately this was the extent of my change of fortune. Once again the water temperature failed to reach the plus side of 50 for our 6am swim. I am told by Itch though that the water temp was 56 last night. The buoys indicate warmer water just offshore so perhaps today's easterly winds will change our trend of cooler water temps?
Following Sunday's 11am swim all are welcome to join us and TriWisconsin at the Estabrook Beer Garden.

Wind is now out of the East. Woo-Hoo! Anyone up for a swim at 6:00 tonight?
I might be game but only if the water temp reaches 60. I'll keep an eye on Atwater Buoy - it's inching in that direction.
I'll give it a shot.
Patriarch
if you do swim, wear long sleeves and pants and a beekeeping suit and some crucifixes and bring some priests with holy water and wear garlic around your neck and some napalm, but I'm sure the flies will still find a way......be warned.
I'll be there 5:30 ish.
Mitch
I'll be there at 6pm.

What was the water temp at noon today? Any closer to Atwater buoy than on 6p Fri?
53 at shore at noon. Good sized rollers. Not clear. Colder by the rocks. Warmer North and way out. The atwater buoy stopped reporting temps as of 7:00 pm on Friday. Wind was the right direction today. Maybe better tomorrow.
Thanks Kahuna. Maybe NDBC changed the link because you can see the plots of atwater buoy here: http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/show_plot.php?station=45013&meas=otmp&uom=E&time_diff=-5&time_label=CDT
and the table of values is here (scroll down to ocean conditions): http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.php?station=45013
Thanks, Lorraine!
And what a beautiful swim today :)
