KEMAH WATER TEMPS!

Current water temp is 67-68 degrees. The weekend winds and storms in the gulf brought in some colder water. Within 100 meters of shore it warms way up but it's a bit chilly past the docks. If you have a wetsuit bring it! If you don't you should still be ok... it's warmer than it will be at Alcatraz!
