Good to know. Wetsuit it is then.

I used a single 7mm last night for a drift dive. Was unzipped and toasty warm. Had I been working at all it'd be the 3mm with a summer cap. I tend to be rather warm more often than not.

72 on last friday and saturday

NOAA has a website with constantly updated temps recorded from their Alexandria Bay station. I don't have the URL offhand, maybe someone else could post it. I think the water temp is updated every two hours. Typically the St. Lawrence is fairly consistent from Kingston to Cornwall within a few degrees.

Html links do funny things here so it seems. http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/station_page.phtml?station=aban6

Are the temperatures i Kingston and Brockville that different. If Brockville is currently 71-72 F is Kingston in the same ballpark, or can it actually be much lower?

Thanks,

There is a thermocline in Kingston. The surface temperatures are the same as the river, but this time last year, the thermocline was around 70 feet. it was 50F.
I have not been in the lake this year to confirm this.
Tom R will let you know for sure:)

I was in Lake Ontario earlier this month, the first thermocline was in the 40-50' range. Above the thermocline a balmy 65F, below near 50F, below the second thermocline at around 70' the temperature was in the low 40s. On one dive a few of us even saw 38F.

As my buddy said when we got back on the boat, " now I remember how 41F feels like --- cold!"

Some of the newer area wrecks are the thermocline is at 35 ft, closer in its around 50ft.

Update, it was between 64 and 66 F last night, just west of dockers wednesday. from 2 different computers. the NOAA buoy states 66 but that is at the surface
(it did feel slightly colder at depth but that was probably just me)

Look out!

Colder water is headed your way.

We had 57 deg in the St Clair River on Sunday 9/28/03 in the Port Huron/Sarnia area.

Throw a solar blanket over it or something! Jeez! You've got company coming on Oct 25/26th. Can't you at least TRY to have it at oooohh........65F or so???

Don't let it get any colder!! 'Kay?

The Lawrence isn't that cold yet.. I was in on the past Thursday, Rockport wall down at the 200+ mark and it was still a balmy 62 degrees with the serface being about 65.

Last Sunday she was 59 at Ivy Lea. If it warms up a bit (like it is supposed to this week) and is not windy it's fine for wetsuits I'll dive.
Need hood and gloves though.

I was on the Munson yesterday, It was 59, at 100 ft. that is warm , no problem diving with a 7 mil wetsuit.
when it gets to 50 , it starts to hurt....:D

[Warren_L]

Knives, did you go with Harold on the Seadeucer? If so, I was with you....

[knives]

:) well yes ...it was me...and you and Harold on the Munson....
the weather is going to get really nice this week...I look forward to some diving later this week and weekend...hope to see you out again...;)

[Warren_L]

Yes, it was nice to have gone out with you, but hopefully things will be a little calmer. BTW you were right about the gravol - I had to stop a couple of times for some caffeine on the way home. I hope to be out again this weekend - I'll bring the extra towels and you bring the gravol. :)
