It's looking like a "keeper" as the last day of January temps will reach the mid-upper 50's. It'll be a mild, winter's day at the Shore. The breezes will be out of the SW at 15-20mph. The sun will be checking in for the entire day as well. High tide:1:11p.m.; Low tide:7:23a.m.; Ocean temp: 48°; Sunset 5:20p.m. 49 days until Spring!

Coldest One This Week

Winter Beauty
Mornin'! What a beautiful winter morning in Wildwood. It's clear, cold (35°), crisp, fragrant, quiet and very still. The horizon's turning deep orange as the dark sky begins to brighten. The sunrise is due in less than an hour. It's all I can do to stay here in my cozy pj's and not bundle up and hurry to the beach to see that spiritual welcoming of the day. Temps will creep up into the low-mid 40's as it will be a bit cooler than yesterday's 50° temps. It'll be mostly sunny with winds beginning out of the W-NW then, shifting from the W-SW, then once again this evening to S-SW all at 10-15mph. High tide:11:35p.m.; Low tide:5:40p.m.; Ocean temp: 49°; Sunset:5:18p.m.; 51 days until Spring.

Nice weekend ahead
Mornin'! It's 38° this early weekend morn. Great morning for a sunrise which is about a ½ hour away. The horizon looks like it's getting in gear to welcome a terrific one too. Winds are calm. It'll be mild and dry and mostly sunny all day with temps in the lo-mid 50's. Winds will be out of the W-SW at 10-15mph. Tomorrow looks like a repeat of today. High tide:10:42a.m.; Low tide:5:02p.m.; Ocean temp:48°; Sunset:5:17p.m.

Lovely Winter's Day In Store

Sun's-A-Coming!

Mornin'! It's 44° in WW this dark, cloudy morn. The sound of the surf is once again welcoming the day. It's dry outside and looks like the rain's outta here for a couple days. Well, at least until Thursday anyway. Although we'll have a mostly cloudy morning, the sunshine will gradually increase as it pushes the clouds out making for a mostly sunny day. Temps will rise into the mid-upper 50's (there's something quite not right with those temps) as it will surely be a mild winter's day. Winds will be out of the West at 10-15mph. High tide:7:59a.m.; Low tide:2:22p.m.; Ocean temp:48°; Sunset:5:12p.m.; Spring: 56 days! By the way, I never mentioned that a 60' whale washed up on the shores of Ocean City, NJ (25 miles north of our coast) yesterday. As of this blog, authorities think it's either a Fin or Minke species and the cause of death could be determined by today.

Grayday Monday
Mornin'! It's 47° in Wildwood. New Moon today...keep an eye on the tides! Clouds are creating a nice thick insulator which allows me to see not just the beam of light from the Hereford Lighthouse, but hear the roar of the ocean this early morning. And, I live a considerable distance from both. It always amazes me when that occurs. Winds are blowing in from the E-SE at 12-16mph. No rain at the moment, but showers are due in this morning and by mid-day today...peeks of sun are forecasted as the winds shift to the S-SE at 20mph. Steadier rain showers will visit late in the day into the overnight. Temps will be unseasonably warmer though as the highs will reach the mid-upper 50's. High tide:7:16a.m.; Low tide:1:38p.m.;Ocean Temp: 48°; Sunset: 5:11p.m.; 57 days until Spring!

Grayday Sunday
Mornin'! It's 32° this early morn. Sky is overcast. Breezes are out of the N-NE at 15-18mph. It'll be mostly cloudy and dry today. The island could see a sprinkling of showers by evening and by tomorrow...rain. Stiff breezes will stick around all day and by noon be coming from the NE and by evening the East right off the sea. Due to the New Moon, flood advisories are being posted as that New Moon draws the sea toward us just as intensely as the Full Moon. Don't drive through flood waters...salty water damages the underside of the vehicles. High tide:7:10a.m. as well as 7:40p.m.; Low tide:12:52p.m.; Ocean temp: 48°; Sunset:5:10p.m.; 58 more days until Spring!

Gale's Checked in again

Mornin'! It's 44° this early morn. Temps will reach the mid 50's although the day looks like it will be a crappy one. Skies are cloud covered and its dry now but rains are due in any moment. Here we go with those freaking Winds again as they re-create the sound of a speeding train roaring down the street while surrounding the house and shaking things up a bit. They're out of the South at 20-25mph gusting at 40-50mph. I'd say the "Gales" are definitely checked in. We'll see winds and rain (at times heavy) today until the overnight hours; then some clearing returns to the island's sky. High tide:1:49p.m.; Low tide:7:56a.m.; Ocean temp:48°; Sunset:5:04p.m. 63 days until Spring!

Martin Luther King Day
Mornin'! It's 28° this morning in Wildwood. It's cold and dark, but the sky is totally starlit and lovely. No clouds; no breezes; no incoming swells on the ocean. The sun is rising in about an hour and will hang around all day. Temps will rise to the mid-30's and by dusk be in the mid-40's as the N-NE breezes shift from the South (12-15mph) bringing milder temps. High tide:12:38p.m.; Low tide:7:02p.m.; Ocean Temp:48°; Sunset: 5:03p.m. Sounds like a nice day to have a holiday thanks to MLK although his actually birthday was yesterday. I'm heading to that sunrise today! 64 days until Spring!
Afterthought: I caught a perfect sunrise this morning and noticed the first icy sheen on the harbors!

11th Consecutive Rain-Free Weekend
Mornin'! It's 30° in WW. It'll be cold, dry, party sunny and breezy (W-NW 15-25mph) to start the weekend today and will end the exact same way. Temps will stay in the mid-30's and the breezes will create a below freezing chill factor. Hold onto your towels, blankets, and costumes you polar plungers. You know who you are. Good luck for those taking the nippy plunge at 1p.m. for the Special Olympics. High tide:10:41a.m.; Low tide:5:10p.m.; Ocean temp:49°; Sunset:5:01p.m.

Rains are Coming Later
Mornin'! It's 30° in WW. Sky is clear as the bright moon is glazing over the frosty island. It'll be mostly sunny to start then clouds roll in later. Temps will continue to be mild as mid-upper 40's are forecasted. An easterly breeze 10-15mph comes ashore later bringing with it rains by rush hour. Rush hour? Did you know there is no rush hour in Wildwood? I mean in the summer...in June, July and August...there's something of a rush hour all day long as vacationers are out and about everywhere making for some island traffic and some tricky parking, but the other 9 months...nothing. Anyway enjoy the start of today while the gettin's' good. Clouds and rains (could be up to 2") are coming later and will stick around all night and continue right into tomorrow morning sometime. You may even hear some thunder rolling in as well. No rain this weekend however, but colder temps are predicted; just in time for Wildwood's Polar Plunge on Saturday. High tide: 8:28a.m.; Low tide:2:57p.m.; Ocean temp:49°; Sunset:4:58p.m.

Continued Niceties

Mornin'! It's 40° in Wildwood. Sun's just arrived as this room is filling with light and warmth. Sky is clear and no winds to report. It's a very nice Winters' morn. Although not as warm as yesterday, the day will be lovely. Temps will rise to the upper 40's and may hit the 50° mark. Winds will slip in later from the N-NW at 10-15mph. It's been hard not to have noticed the moon the last couple evenings. Tonight's the Full Moon. January is the month of the "Full Wolf Moon". It appeared when wolf packs howled hungrily outside indian villages in the midst of the cold and deep snows of mid-winter. I haven't howled yet but my stomach's growling smelling that bacon that's in the midst of hubby's cooking this Sunday morning. I'll certainly be enjoying this nice day by the sea especially now that the holiday decorations are down and packed away...making time to soak in the island's niceties. High tide: 6:56p.m.; Low Tide:1:01p.m; Ocean temp: 48°; Sunset:4:55p.m.; Moonrise:4:34p.m. Thank you Ken!

Tacking on the Temps
Mornin'! It's 40° in Wildwood this clear, early morn. The bright moon is setting as I blog. Full Moon is Monday as we begin to see a brighter display of moon shine the next couple evenings. You read my mind as I'm not ruling out a weekend cocktail from the private distillery! I'm happy to report, we'll be tacking on the temps today as the island will see the low-mid 50's again. (and even a tad warmer tomorrow). It's clear and crisp and hardly a breeze at the moment, although there's a slight one coming out of the W-SW at 10mph any time now. Looks like they'll gently waft over us all day too. So a sunny and mild one in store today. You know the drill...get out and enjoy that island sea air! These mild, winter days are numbered. High tide:5:32p.m.; Low tide:11:40a.m.; Ocean temp: 49° (should be around 39° this time of year); Sunset: 4:53p.m.
