you can see the surf temperature at this link:

when it gets to above 60 is it very swimmable. the problem is that people quit too early. it feels very cold at first, especially if you have been previously baking on the beach, but after a little while it begins to feel fine (especially if you duck your head all the way under). then your body adjusts and it is just fine.

in addition, for small children, at low and mid tide, there are tide pools which form and provide water for them to splash and play in.

The water isn%26#39;t the temperature of the Carribean, but it%26#39;s so refreshing and once you%26#39;re in it%26#39;s hard to come out. The surf is wonderful and you%26#39;ll catch some great waves for bodysurfing!

Oqt Grrl is right at first it seems numbing almost painful for your feet but if you stay in a while your body adapts and it is great.
