I hope you had a good time, but a question about the waters of that sea, I mean? it is very cold that area or it could be submerged for a while .. here on the beaches the weather is very hot and the sea is always warm.

We're talking about the Pacific Ocean. Its temperature changes slowly. Californian coastal waters are always relatively cool. That's because of the ocean currents that transport surface water from the north. That's part of why the summers of California are so dry (little evaporation from the cool sea). It's very similar in Portugal, Namibia, northern Chile and Western Australia. Of course, the ocean is warmer in the summer but it's cool relative to the air. I've been to southern Portugal in late July and the ocean temperature was a not-so-balmy 21 C. That's a typical lake water temperature in Finland at that time of the year. On the Mediterranean side, the surface temperature of the sea is easily over five centigrades warmer. Ditto for the eastern seaboard of the US at the same latitudes.
Markku, you are like a geography encyclopedia. That is sooo freaking cool.
I’m on vacation here so I can’t give you the right answer to your questions. However, I would think that the waters would get cold on colder days and warm on warmer days.
