WTF is going on? Halibut Bank reading 19 degree water temp ... just 2 days ago it was 13 degrees.

19 is usually as warm as it gets mid August, I wonder if the sensor is messed up or the water really is that warm.

I noticed that too while windsurfing the inlet, water is unusually warm. with a 4/3 with holes and I was fine. Very strange.

I was going to ask you guys what wetsuit to wear? 5/4 seems too much.

I'll bring boardshorts just in case, don't want to cook myself.

I was in my 5/3 yesterday when it was reading 16 deg water. I found that to be just right, but too hot when out of the water. I like to be warm though.

Back to reality, dropped 10 degrees in 10 hours over last night. Very brisk this morning.
