when will the ocean temperature in santa barbara warm up?

Answer 1

Ask Al Gore. But seriously, it normally warms up in August and stays warm until early November.

Answer 2

Let's hope it doesn't. Do you have any idea how many sea going species rely on the cold Alaska stream to live? If you want warm ocean water, move to the Gulf of Mexico or the Med where the species there rely on warm water to live.

Be careful what you ask for.
