Here, the water is almost always right for swimming, assuming you don't need it to be actually WARM. In fact, I think I might just go ahead and head down that way today, as it is only six minutes' drive.

Yay.

If you ever swam in the finger lakes you know that only the top couple inches will reach 65 degrees in the warmest parts of the summer. Below the top few inches the water temperature is closer to 55 degrees.

Big Jim and the twins used to be nicknamed "Tiny Tim" after the singer.

I was just thinking the same thing!!! NE Beaches are cold in the summer. SoCal beaches are freezing in August! The water at Siesta Key was great for me on Friday..

yup, colder than a witches t--, have been going to Hampton Beach,in N.H. all my life and I can count on one hand the times ive really gone in the water. now if you build a tide pool and stick your feet in while sitting in a beach chair,i can handle that.
At Christmas time we will be in the heated pool down there(IN FLORIDA) at a nice 86 degrees----- Can anyone say AHHHHHHHHHH

I just got home from hitting a million golf balls at Evie's.

I have to sign off now, because my pool outside my office window is beckoning me. I can barely wait.

OK bye.

You hit golf balls 5 minutes from my office !! How is that range over there ? And yes, I am from New Hampshire, my mother has a cottage on Hampton beach that my grandfather built. Spent every summer there as a kid and we went swimming in that 63 degree water in July !! Down here if it is not at least 80 it just feels freezing lol.

The range is decent, except for some reason they just relegated the grass tee area to a ten yard long stretch way down in the corner (when they used to have fully half the range prepped fro grass tees).

As for the water temperature, I used to go clamming in Naragansett Bay, so believe me, I know cold. The Gulf feels like a warm sauna most of the year compared to that.

just an update, the temp in the Gulf here today is 78

If a person cannot get into 78 degree water, they probably ought to stick to heated pools and sauna/hot tub/spas.

I mean, a swim should be refreshing, no?
