Yuusr, seems like you got a chip on your shoulder. You also brought in the Caribbean to the equation, so you shouldn't be so rude to Slo about his opinion and comparison on the subject. For someone who always talks about people not liking the same thing, I would think you could be more respectful towards someone who has a different opinion than you.
I wasn't the one that brought up the Caribbean. What are you 2 guys beach buddies or something?
Instead of trying to change the discussion to avoid the topic how about you tell us how your getting your information that proves wrong years of scientifically collected data by experts.
Ever heard of global warming? As I said, I live here. We had a monsoon thunderstorm last summer, actually, a few. Unusual for coastal SoCal. It was hotter and more humid than usual last summer, with warm waters.
There really is no reason for your rude tone, Yyuusr. We were all having a polite and kind discussion here, even if there were disagreements. It would be greatly appreciated if you took a step back and respectfully added to the discussion, rather than being mean, as your posts come off that way to me, and likely other users here.
I am not being using a "mean tone" on purpose.
Sorry if I have offended you but your trying to argue with facts like temperatures which are regularly collected by experts with advanced technology. So you see it's not that hard to get why I would be annoyed.
I don't really like to swim, so that negates one of Florida's top advantages. I also don't surf so that negates California's largest advantage. So overall I'd say that California's beaches are wider and less crowded, so I'll go with California. I like California's weather as well although it can be too cool

What the hell? Are you serious? Global warming? Because it was hotter than the previous summer? Oh god

That's because your posts really annoy me. Like the last post for example....
I am not comparing weather with "SoCal" I am correcting correcting him on misinformation he is providing which he is getting who knows how.
But if have something meaningful to add the discussion your welcome to come back.
Correct, clearly weather isn't part of this discussion, because it's no contest.
What data have you provided?
I was in San Diego last week and the ocean temps were spectacular....and the weather.
Even then, low 70s aren't that fun to stay in that long but is certainly doable but I'd consider it refreshing/chilly. 60s just...no thanks. You can spend much more time in the water when it's 80+
Better would actually having lived by the beach in SoCal and experiencing for yourself. Averages from that site dont really tell the whole story. I've seen water temps at Scripps Pier on that site very a lot between day and night, as much as 10 degrees in some cases.
I beg to differ, I've spent quite a long time in the water in the low 70's, it's not like the water gets colder, quite the opposite actually. I understand how that can still be too cold for some people but not for a lot of others judging by how many people are in the ocean during summer in SoCal.

In his defense, he has provided average monthly air temps collected by scientists for San Diego and I think LA was on there, too. Another poster just provided average water temps taken every 2 weeks or so along the whole CA coast.
While there are days when the air temperature anywhere can be unusually hot or cold, there still is an average. Usually, it's x in June but today it was x+10 degrees. Usually the water is x, but today the water was x+3 degrees. On average, the water in CA doesn't break 70 for most of the summer. On average, the air temperature in SoCal doesn't get higher than 70 in June. Can the air and water be higher? Of course. But there is a normal then there is an extreme. Higher or lower would be extreme compared to the average.
