Sea Surface Temperatures
If you have the luxury of choosing between a 5/3 or a 4/3, checking the surface temps might help you decide which one to pack to the beach on any given day. Sea surface temps can easliy swing 5° or more daily depending on the prevailing winds and currents. Contrary to what you might suspect, it is often warmer up north than down south. Go here for NOAA's Pacific NW sea temp map. The graphic isn't very nice, but temperature bands are pretty specific (10º C = 50º F). The moored buoys also report water temperature (see links above). Go here for a nice map of sea surface temps worldwide.
