Surf water temperature is 85○. Just as it always is at the first of July. It will get to 86○ to 88○ as it always does by August. Are there sharks here close to shore feeding? You bet. Just like there have been for millions of years. There are signs posted for swimmers to stay 400' from large fishing piers because of live and dead bait being used. Do swimmers stay away that far? Are you kidding?

I'd go fishing at the public pier on Anastasia Island (St. Augustine), and you couldn't get a bite for all the damn college kids in the water - they'd surf right up under the pier. I'm surprised more of them don't get gut-hooked with a frozen shrimp.
