3. We may have a few hot days in early June, and the air "may feel warm," but meteorologists say that ocean water temperatures are still cold. Monday was an unseasonably hot day, but the water temperature was a cool 54 degrees. Local surfers, if you plan to go in cold ocean water, Surf Forecast.com advises wearing "a good quality spring wetsuit and optionally a hood, neoprene gloves and boots." (Surf Forecast)
