Down in the Sea

Water temp, as measured by the waverider buoy off Long Reef says 21, but when TG stuck his big toe in the water at North Narra yesterday during the howling Noreaster, his toe froze. So you may find there’s a cold current making the temp inshore at some places a bit cooler than you expect. Today’s westerlies may improve it by Friday.
