Oh, okay, maybe there are a few points to throw out...
No wonder NWS has such a hard time making good forecasts. :-)

column = air sea
n = 228 228
min = 53.2 55.2
max = 64.4 66.4
sum = 1.312e+04 1.337e+04
mean = 57.55 58.65 <----- very good, Kirk!
sdev = 1.975 1.423
frac_sdev = 0.03431 0.02426
var = 3.899 2.024
corr = 0.6190
December:
column = air sea
n = 208 208
min = 40.6 52.3
max = 57.4 55.9
sum = 1.065e+04 1.124e+04
mean = 51.21 54.02
sdev = 3.568 1.012
frac_sdev = 0.06968 0.01873
var = 12.73 1.024
corr = 0.5791
So the GG buoy still shows a bit colder in winter, but not much.
My Bodega Bay data had a glitch in it, too. The June and July temp
is only 51 F, not 49. December mean is still 55 F.
