That's just plain wrong.

What do you see wrong? Florida looks right and the Gulf of Mexico heats up like bath water.

A hurricane in California even in an el nino year with temps in the upper 70's or low 80's would be unlikely. Thankfully due to the upper prevailing winds, hurricanes that actually make it that far north head north west away from land and into colder water or go east far south of California. One might think that a tropical depression or storm would be beneficial to dry conditions. Just imagine if a tropical storm dumped 5 inches throughout most of southern California. The soil would in no way be prepared to absorb the rain which would result in floods. The mountains hugging the coast east of LA and SD would also create problems. The mountains would act as a sponge and squeeze out even more water. That water would head for the coast and the high population areas.

It would also be interesting if a hurricane made it up the gulf of California. The water temps out there are well into the 80's even at the far north regions. If a Hurricane's eye continued over water in the gulf heading north and brought torrential rains to the deserts, it would result in serious floods.

the water in the mar de cortez can be 35C - 96F in the summer.

this of some hurricanes and tropical storms in the mar de cortez going to the hot desert of arizona and east california, already happen many times:

Ocean temps: Santa Monica bay 69-71 \ San Diego bay 72-75

Aug. 16, 2009- Palm Beach Inlet-81F at 3:41AM. This seems suddenly cooler than normal.

Santa Monica bay: 70F\ 21.1C

Hi,

The Northsea temperature along the coast from the netherlands are between the 20-21C/68-69.8F.

The waters more inland, like the more closest water to me is between the 25-26C/77-78.8F.

At the white spot is where I am.

Santa Monica: 70F\ 21.1C

San Diego: 74F\ 23.3C

North sea along the coast between the 18-19C/64.4-66.2F

The closest water to me still above the 22C/71.6F

Was in Seattle Wednesday and Thursday and stuck my foot in the water on East side of Seattle island, not sure what its called, and had a direct view of Bellevue and was surprised. At the end of Madison ST? (if you know the area) The temp outside was around 85F with 45% humidity. The water temperature must have been around 70F. Probably because it was on the east side protected from freezing cold pacific. Does anybody have any data on water temps in and around Seattle area? Also does anybody know the temps in the Bay area, the actual bay? Thanks.

Sept. 26, 2009- Palm Beach Inlet- 86F.

Santa Monica Bay: 70F

San Diego Bay: 73F

I was reading 83F on a high tide in 8ft @ 10pm the other night in the Alafia River....

It's still a cauldron out there...

I can't for it to drop... 'tis my time of the year to catch de fishes. BackwaterStyle.

The magic number is 76F.

ocean temperatures for california usa and baja california, méxico. normal for this time in the year.

Oct. 2, 2009-Palm Beach Inlet-85F.

Quepos, Costa Rica 28.8C (83.8F)

San Francisco Bay just inside the Golden Gate: 59.2F; SF Bay at Alameda, near Oakland: 66F

Found this neat ocean temp graphic:

Kailua Kona, Big Island of Hawaii 82 F

Awesome! Perfect for a night manta ray dive!

Santa Monica bay: 68F

San Diego bay: 69F

Palm Beach Inlet- Oct.8, 2009- 85F

It's informative to see the difference in ocean temps. The cool California current is why our palms grow so slow! Today's readings posted by the NODC: LA - 68.4F\ San Diego - 69.3F http://www.nodc.noaa.gov/dsdt/cwtg/spac.html don't reflect how the ocean temps have dropped this week due to a relatively speaking cold airmass overhead. Santa Monica beach: 64F\ La Jolla: 66F.

Warm ocean temps signify humidity & overnight heat [ingredients necessary for subtropical palms to thrive].

Atlantic Ocean in south of Brasil. Next to Laguna dos Patos "scape" to ocean

Summer (february): 75,2 F

Winter (july): 59 F

Checking water temperatures and saw 92F at Naples-Oct.9, 2009. I would say that is a little toasty!

Oct. 16,2009-Palm Beach Inlet-85F- Naples-90F; First cool down coming. It will be interesting to see the difference in Gulf vs. Atlantic after the blow.

Bubba, here is a site you might like.

No significant change w/ a few spots topping 70F but mostly upper 60's.

Quepos, Costa Rica: 29C (84.2F)

Oct. 18, 2009-Palm Beach Inlet-83F; Naples down from 90F to 82F after the first blow.

Ocean was around 66F in Dana Point area...still surfing in a 2 millimeter. Air has been about the same or slightly cooler.

Gradually cooling.
