Are the temperature changes of the water normal? They sound extreme but I have nothing to base that on.

Yes but today it went from 51 to 59 degrees. 9 degrees in one day is definitely going to heat the mud flats up. Get ready boys

What a difference 2 months make. Bay = 68, ocean = 64. As of this morning.
