Being on the East coast of Maryland we often find ourselves in the middle of some pretty impressive weather systems, but it’s very rare.    While hurricanes are not common in Ocean City, they can occur, especially during the Atlantic hurricane season, which runs from June 1st to November 30th. Our live webcams get very popular during storms. It’s important to be aware of the hurricane season and to have a plan in place in case of severe weather.

The water temperature in Ocean City varies depending on the time of year. During the summer months, the water temperature averages around 70-75°F (21-24°C). However, the water can be cooler in the spring and fall.   Surfers don wetsuits and surf all year – regardless of the temperatures.  We, personally, like the warm water we see in Ocean City later in the summer and even into the early fall.

Usually in March and April we see the temperatures rise and linger in the 60’s & 70’s providing excellent weather for enjoying the outside life, walking the boardwalk & beach, biking, and other outdoor activities.  The Beach season begins in May and runs until September or October.
