Well lots of those "crazy" northerners do it and think nothing of it, so depending on where you're from, yes. It will be warmer than a Michigan or Minnesota lake in the height of the summer, for example. But don't expect to see us Florida "natives" in the water!

I see people do it all the time so it depends on what you're used to. The average winter temperature in the gulf is 65 degrees.

I think it will be cold and I'm from Connecticut. In December, average water temp in Sarasota is 67 degrees while the average high air temp is 73 degrees and the average low air temp is 59. Keep in mind that it will probably be colder than average as temperatures decrease as the month progresses.

It may be warm enough to go to the beach but as a year round resident, I do not go in the water after Oct and not before May.

Ditto on the things to do in Sarasota but that's not what the poster is interested in.
