Saint Lawrence Water Temp ?

[WVMike]

Hi,

Does anyone know the current water temperature in the Saint Lawrence Seaway around Brockville?

Thanks, trying to decide which suit to use.

You should post this question in the Ontario Fresh Water Freaks forum......

Looked and did not see that forum anymore?

Figured maybe someone from Florida just got back and could give a report.

Hi! This summer has been cool, so the river hasn't warmed up anywhere close to where it could be (75-ish). Two weekends ago, it's still registering 68-72 depending on where you are in the river.

This time last summer, I was diving my 7 mm steamer, no hood. This year, I didn't attempt a wetsuit dive until early August...and promptly went running back into my dry suit!

I dive in the Brockville/Rockport area every weekend. Last weekend it was 72 degrees; quite balmy . If it's rainy and/or not sunny for at least a day expect a 1-2 degree decline in temp. No thermocline, and it was 72 degrees at 98 ft.

I wear my 7/5 semi-dry fullsuit and I'm toasty warm.

Thanks for the replys, I did find the OFWF sub forum thanks for link Vlada. I posted question there as well.

I will be diving there this weekend and am looking forward to getting away from the cold dark lakes of WV.

cause there is no thermoclines in the river
all of the other (popular) canadian diving occurs in the ocean where it's cold.
