I recently called the FSU Marine Lab at St. Teresa to inquire about their Gulf water temperature readings. After checking, the staffer I talked to said the gauge was in the channel right next to the lab. I questioned its accuracy since the readings were in the 70s, even after the cold snap. I was told it would be checked.
Well, apparently they did check it and possibly replaced the gauge. The reading just a few minutes ago was 57 degrees, which sounds about right after it warmed up yesterday afternoon.
This is a real-time site with wind, rain and now accurate water temperature readings. Good tool for planning trips and comparing results to actual conditions.

Re: FSU Marine Lab WX site
At least they fixed it, the GAweathernet station near my research plots would show a couple tenths of a inch on the rain gauge and then the gauge in the field would show a couple inches.
