Water Temp dropping

[West Basin]

Water temperature in Western Basin has dropped from 77 / 78 two weeks or so ago to 73 / 74 today. Not the 10 degree drop into the upper 60's needed to really bring on the fall fishing, but I wonder what the fishing will be like next week after this weekend's unseasonally cool temps with moderately high winds. Should bring the water temp down a little more.

Most of the water temp drop occurs after a blow when the big waves mix the cooler bottom water with the surface water.The cooler air temps will also cool it down some too.But the water temps have definitely dropped the past two windy weekends.Fishing should improve too, hopefully by end of the month.
