taram999 Posted January 9, 2012 #5 Share Posted January 9, 2012 If you google it they say the water is never cooler than 72........ And it ws 80 degrees there today! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scubagirrl Posted January 9, 2012 #6 Share Posted January 9, 2012 If you google it they say the water is never cooler than 72........ And it ws 80 degrees there today! That's an average.. and some websites have that number at 70.. Sorry to say, but there are weeks in the winter that are absolutely less that 72. Especially after a prolonged cold spell.

DebbyV Posted January 10, 2012 #7 Share Posted January 10, 2012 We were just in Nassau on Dec 27th and the water was great! We had never been there before and just asked a local if there was a good beach in walking distance. He recommended Junkanoo Beach (also known as Western Esplanade on some of the maps) just a 10 min walk from the dock. I was a bit dubious going to a "downtown" beach, but surprisingly the beach itself was quite clean and extremely large, and the water was crystal clear. It was a little chilly going in, but I quickly got used to it. I must have spent 45 min in the water and could have spent more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kc320 Posted January 13, 2012 #9 Share Posted January 13, 2012 Water temp & being comfortable is relative to where you are from...:)...I've been a florida gal for 32 years now & the water temps Dec-april are waaaay to chilly for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Too true. I used to live in CA but have been a MN resident for 20+ years now. When I found myself enjoying the beach in FL in Dec, I had to shake my head. Pretty sure my MN native kid's will think the water's fine. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carolina_Girl Posted January 17, 2012 #11 Share Posted January 17, 2012 We were just in Nassau and Coco Cay. The water was WAY TOO COLD for us to get in past our shins~!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
star*skecher Posted January 17, 2012 #12 Share Posted January 17, 2012 I'm a Florida native and most would probably consider me a wimp about water temps. But we were at Blue Lagoon in Nassau on Friday and while it was a bit of a shock to the system, I braved it and dove in. After a few minutes it was fine:D! We even got inner tubes and floated around it in for an hour. Oh and the water was 76°F.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The shallow water in the interior of blue lagoon island is generally a few degrees warmer than most beaches.. Water temp these days elsewhere in Nassau / PI is closer to 70°F..

Thanks for the update. We're getting close and plan to check out the weather forecast before actually booking any excursions, so this is very good to know!

timandjennifer Posted January 26, 2012 #19 Share Posted January 26, 2012 we were there on Sunday (22nd) and it was pretty cold. Hubby got out after just a few minutes and would not get back in. It took your breath away at first, but I got used to it fairly quick. Overall, it really was not bad and the longer the day went on, the warmer it seemed to get- I would imagine the temp was low 70's after lunch.

houseflipper48 Posted January 27, 2012 #21 Share Posted January 27, 2012 My daughter and I were just there over the weekend and we spent the day at the Hilton and we were only brave enough to go in up to our waists.

It was too chilly for us! Thanks! The Segway tour is looking more appealing all the time ;) I guess that with you being from Greensboro you are used to the same weather that we are, so I'm sure it will be cold for us too.

Cruiseoholic000 Posted February 6, 2012 #24 Share Posted February 6, 2012 I will be in the Nassau Bahamas this Sunday :-) I was wondering if anyone could tell me the current water temps and/or a website that has the actual current temps? Hoping the rain will not be a big thing Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
