Now bear in mind that even a small pool in TV will heat up without circulation. So the take away here is that one marker in the Ocean at a shallow depth may not be a true indicator or the omission of all of the facts leads to incorrect conclusions.

If a person reports there was a bank heist at Citizens First Bank Lake Sumter Landing. Then they report they saw me in the vicinity of Lake Sumter land at or around the time of the heist, that is part of the story. It certainly falsely implies that I was a suspect in the heist. What was conveniently omitted was, the omission that I live in Lake Sumter Landing.

So let's all breath and get all of the facts to properly assess the drivers that go into reporting.

Guuud DAY!!
Incorrect. 4.9ft is the depth at which the measurement was taken. It is doubtful that anyone would attempt to moor a buoy in less than five feet of water.

The tidal information is given on the buoy data page, it has a tide swing of at least 0.75ft which seems to be typical for that area.

As mentioned in a previous post, all the buoys in that area showed high temperatures peaking on 7/24 and 7/25.

This buoy is not in only 4.9ft of water. This buoy is not in an area with no tidal flow. This was not the only buoy showing peaks, it just happened to be the buoy with the highest peak. One thing we can agree on, it is important to get all the facts.
