Why do ocean temps vary so much?
Was looking at water temperatures today because I’ve always been amused how the central coast is closer in temp to Canada than Los Angeles. Current temperatures today are
BC - 49°
Monterey - 59°
Morro Bay - 51°
Santa Barbara - 60°
All data from Surfline.
How is it that 100mi north of Morro Bay, and 100mi south, the water temps are significantly higher. What’s going on in that region?
