We are thinking of going to West Palm Beach/ Jupiter for Winter Break


The main thing I am trying to figure out is the water temperatures.

Ive looked them up at different sites, and have gotten different temperatures.

We are trying to go right after New Years for about a week.

Would the water be warm enough to where it doesnt feel freezing/ cold when you get in the water or get back out?

Anyone thats done this have any suggestions?

anything over 72 will work imho

I am in south Florida now and I dont think it would be a problem to get in the water right now.

Like getting in the water and being comfortable hanging out on the beach and stuff ?


Thanks
