I can tell you, after having lived on the south coast of the UK for 4
years, that it's a hell of a lot colder than here!
Another factor is the air temperature - air temp here is much higher so
if you're on your board paddling you are a lot warmer overall.
I think someone posted advice about keeping some of those hand paddles
with you in a survival pack - great idea to speed you on your way back
to the shore.
