Although I'm sure the weather is warmer than you're probably
experiencing in Iowa these days, it's not warm enough that a dip in
the ocean is all that enticing for us at least... Water temperature is
probably close to what the NOAA Galveston buoy is reporting...

Well, hell's bells -- now even buoys have their own websites
nowadays! Who'd a thunk it?

And that 60 degree water sounds pretty good. Shoot, we used to swim
in Lake Michigan, so you KNOW cold water ain't too much of a
deterrent...
