Historical Sea Temps

Where would I find historical sea temperatures at surfing spots?

I see magicseaweed is showing historical swells n' that, but I couldn't see any temperatures.

I'm looking to be going away in October (not sure where yet, Europe/N Africa) an am contemplating buying a shortie.

Any pointers?

If the places yer going to are popular tourist areas, mos travel websites (Virgin and the like) have air and sea temp guides. I normally use Virgin if I'm trying to find out what its gonna be like

I found this website http://www.weather2travel.com which has helped me.

22 degrees - that's boardshorts weather surely!

Should be, but depends on the air temp too. Dont get too exicited though - 22 degrees sadly isn't like sinking into a warm bath. :roll:

22degrees feels 'a bit cool' as you walk in (in shorts, obviously) and then feels pleasantly ambient once you're in

If I was a chick I'd class that statement as "creepy"!

A shortie is fine for Devon and Cornwall in the summer, you can even get away with boardies on a warm sunny day.

I was thinking more, France, Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Canary Islands.

I lived in Wales for 3 years and would recommend it.

I'm going to Thurso in September, so having one holiday at home.
TAKE THAT CARBON FOOTPRINT!!
