As someone that flew back and forth across forty miles of Cook Inlet today from Homer to Lake Clark, with temps just above 0 F, a west wind of 20 knots above 200 feet agl, and snow over the Alaska Range, I would love to see 36 F, and water remp of 62 F. I was wearing an immersion suit, had a raft and was on pop out floats, but still had no interest in using that equipment.
I don't know the rest of the weather situation, but frankly the reported weather in itself doesn't sound unreasonable.
