The ocean temperature has been going up in the last week. I think it was 49 or 51. The raritan bay temperature went down 9 degrees in the last 2 days from 63 to 55. Any thoughts from you guys why this is?
I would think the west winds would cool the bay, not east winds.

Raritan do to run off of rain

South winds bring cold dirty water do to up dwelling from ground swells
