A white Christmas came early on Sunday the 21st of December.
Along with over a foot of snow, Santa also brought offshore tubes to surfers Rob Kelly, Chris Kelly, Sean Santiago, and friends of Ocean City, NJ. Water temp: upper 38F.
Air temp: 20F. Enjoy from the warmth of your house or office.
this vid is awesome. ive watched it 15x's since yesterday... I waan know who is the artisit & the name of the song playing in this vid if any1 out there knows...
you guys are gay, who cares what the water temp is, cold is cold. shut up and enjoy the great waves. why not have nut circumference competition next, homos. FYI, i surfed 7th street that day and the water was in high 40's, so you're both wrong, a-holes
True about the water temp. I'm in Maine and it is still around 42 F so I doubt it was 38 in NJ that day. Still nice to see some video of the northeast though.
Rob it's on our server and working fine from here - we're trying to work out what the problem could be - in the meantime if anyone can't view it please do consider posting a comment here so we can take this issue to our network providers and try to get it sorted.... Thanks for sharing the vid and Happy Christmas!
I also get "video not found" this & the Kerr vid... but saw it on the utube link - sick barrel sesh, the snow almost looks inviting to me at moment... sitting here sweating in a 30+C durban summer
Water temp in New England is 45 today, so I believe the 52 degree mark is accurate for NJ. Water temp will be down in the 30's up here in a few weeks. Water temp does not affect snow.
NE gets a bit warmer than NJ as the Gulf stream bypasses that area and hits New England thus making it warmer some of the times...especially in the winter. Even just 60 miles off the coast is warmer than the shore. Since that storm came from the land, the air temp and thus the precipitation will take on the personality of the front. I'm sure a few miles off shore it could be raining if the water temps were "warm".
I'm not saying the water temps were indeed 38 not 52, but saying it would be raining not snowing if it were warmer is false, and saying that the water in NE is 52 has no bearing on the water temps off NJ.
Hell even Cape Hatteras has a huge temp difference between the south side and north side of the point.
Having lived in NJ and I now live in BC I can say without a doubt that it will snow with water temps in the low 50's. That said, I have experienced NJ water in the high 30's.
I was stationed at Manasquan inlet (CG station) from 84-86 and lived in Long Branch. I remember there was only one other person that surfed LB in the winter. Oh, the memories.
Finally NJ gets a piece of the international surfing pie. Honestly after travel to many places there is nothing the waves of your own back yard. Jersey pride all the way
