Not surprisingly, last week (March 18-25) was the warmest since 2011 with the warmest average water temp on record for that week at the Buoy 42012! (69.9 degrees)
It was warm enough last week to push the inshore water temperature (from the pier to Perdido Pass) several degrees above that of the buoy 12 miles out.
And several degrees warmer than along the FL Panhandle...
Unfortunately, since then the water has cooled significantly about 4 degrees (F) :-(
But that just shows ya the dynamic nature of it!Last edited by Pier#r; 03-28-2015 at 11:18 AM.

The water temp dropped like stairs with last week's chill but is right back up there in the 'comfort zone' now...

A 5.5 degree drop in the past week during the hottest week of the year!
Modest upwelling?

When did they move 42012?
People are shocked to see sharks in the water around here.
If you see natural water taste it. If it's salty it has sharks in it. If it's fresh it has alligators in it. If it's brackish it has both.

I don't subscribe to Ripcharts, so I can't see the latest data, but looking at the altimetry change from the 11th to 17th it appears that there was a significant low there that was starting to dissipate by the 17th. That would imply some inflow of more water if the low continued to dissipate and there was a large high (upwelling) to the south.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
