Spring is definitely here where I live in Texas. The high temperature today was 85 degrees F. Our early morning low for Thursday morning will be around 63 degrees F. Right now as I type this post, it is 75 degrees F.

BTW, nice photo.

Glad it's arrived somewhere. It's in the low 20s in the Hudson Valley.

Oooh. I like the look of that. I'm freezing in the Hood. Rain with sunbreaks, air 50, water temp 43. I still trunked it (with tights) today, and it wasn't bad, but I didn't want to fall in. It's the old "Rule of 93".

We're running the rule of 116 today. 60 degree air temp and 56 for the water temp.

3mm-2mm O'Neill Heat was perfect.

Still winter here in NH. Coldest March ever. Ground still frozen with 6 inches of snow.

Surfed yesterday in primo chest high conditions and had the whole break to myself. Air 30, water 39. I was comfortable in my 6/5. I'm not looking forward to the spring crowds.

Here in NJ, 56 degrees and sunny, ocean temp at 40.  Waist high but breaking through high tide, which just peaked.  Spring has sprung!  But, still going 4/3 hooded, 5mm boots and gloves for that total tropical feel.
