Ocean temps have been 2–3 F cooler on average- which is far more significant than a 2–3 change in air temperature due to it’s specific heat.
I fished in, swam in and surfed in the ocean all fall, winter and spring. Ocean temperatures were well below average as indicated by NOAA, local surf and weather forecasts, in addition to empirical knowledge, fish, wildlife and wind patterns.
We are switching to an El Niño cycle. Cooler in the Pacific and hotter in the Atlantic.

You overlooked nearly an entire year of cooler temperatures in Florida in favor of a singular month to make a claim.
The snook were late to not arriving at all even at the very end of the season (June 1st) because water temperatures were too cold for the snook.
The pompano ran late into spring when their run typically ends in late February or early March as pompano prefer cooler water.
