The GoMOOS buoys are not out of whack. The water temperature really is 57 F all the way around Cape Ann and into the Gulf of Maine.
Went for a swim today and it was like bathwater. Just two weeks ago the water was passing 50 F and the dip was, refreshing.
Good Morning Gloucester

A couple of weeks ago I said to my daughter, “doesn’t it feel good after you get out?” Her: “Yeah, the pain stops.”
Today completely different. Floating and looking at the bottom. Before June. This is good.

Ok you two. I was Down River (in Essex, off Crane’s) today and it was COLD!

Off Crane’s beach you might have a lot more current on the incoming tide. The water is 43 F down 20 meters. If that water welled up it is going to be nippy.
Crane’s is usually warmer than elsewhere because the outgoing you get the water that has been cooked in the marsh all day. You might be a wimp.
