Wow! The shoreline temperature is 24C!? Isn't that very high for your location?
Right now ours are no better than 19C (readings take within 5 nautical miles from the shoreline). That about 8C below average for this time of year. Out in the middle of the Lake it's even colder.

the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) at a moored buoy in the middle of southern Lake Michigan about 50 miles east-southeast of Milwaukee, where the lake is nearly 530 feet deep. The temperature sensor is located about two 2 feet below the surface.
Quote:
The highest water temperature ever recorded at the buoy was 81.3 degrees on Aug. 18, 1995.
During the hot July of 2012, the mid lake buoy reached 80F/27C as early as July 8th
If the mid-lake buoy can reach 27C during the hottest summers, then the shoreline has certainly passed the 30C threshold.

They don't have a proper sea/ocean otherwise it would NOT be that warm.
The north sea PROPER is more like a sea..
Current sea temperatures are 13C which is more REALISTIC

Yes, the Baltic Sea is real warm, 4C above average. There has been a lot of discussion in the "what is the sea temp" thread, so check it out.
The Baltic has almost no inflow, the Öresund is as narrow as the straits of Gibraltar. It's not even a proper sea, it has brackish water and not seawater and is mostly quite shallow.
The nearest beach would be Ispoinen, it's like 15 minutes with the bus. The weather is obviously the same as here, 29.9C and mostly clear. The water temp is 24.0C. The beaches are obviously free. Nobody would dare to ask for payment.
That looks pretty nice. Looks like that seems to be a german thing only to pay for entering a beach, i also think the beaches should be free to everyone.
It is also common to experience a phenomenon called "upwelling". I'm not sure how common that occurs on your coasts. Here is an example of what upwelling can do to water surface temps on the lake
On Sept 6th 2011, the coastal areas were between 25-30C. The very next day, upwelling caused the temps to drop to 7C on the eastern shores of the lake.
Before I moved to the south suburbs of Chicago, I was 15 minutes from the closest city beach.
Nearest beach from my house now is a 40 minute drive.
It is pretty common. We here on the north coast are ALWAYS colder than the atlantic.
