Does anyone know if this is normally a wetsuit legal swim, or what the temp is right now?

I happened to schedule a trip to Virginia Beach the same weekend, so I will be out there spectating.  Most likely on the beach.

just as an FYI, they are closing the HRBT eastbound on friday at 9 pm through monday at 5 am for repaving...so if you are planning to drive down there on sat or sun, plan a different route!

at http://www.surf-forecast.com/breaks/Virginia-Beach/seatempit says that the current water temperature is 79. I'm expecting that it will just be wetsuit legal.

We're going to have to take the Hampton Roads Beltway (I664) instead of the HRBT; will add about 30 miles and who knows how much backup and extra time. I've got the added pressure of having to get there in time for packet pickup.

another option is 460 - take it down to suffolk then cut over.  i'm going to the beach friday afternoon so i'm not worried about it :-P and 64W WILL be open to get home on.

Guess I'll check traffic on Saturday morning and see which one is less bad.
