READING THE SEA…

Is it warm enough to swim at Seward?

At 9.9°C the water is frigiddangerously cold — a wetsuit is essential and exposure time is short. Sea temperature lags the seasons, so the warmest water at Sewardusually comes a month or two after the hottest air, and a cold current or a spell of offshore wind can drop it sharply within a day. This is the surface layer; it's cooler a few metres down.
