The Memorial Day weekend may be the official start of summer, but there's nothing summer-like yet about the water temperatures at the beach. Data from the weather buoy in the Delaware Bay shows water temps not quite 60 degrees. Actually, that's about normal, maybe even a degree or so warmer than normal. But take heart; June is a big warm-up month. You could also head for Cape Charles, Va., where the water temperatures is closer to 67 degrees.
