On the other hand, IRL oceans are generally shockingly cold, even in summer, as their natural state (in comparison to land, and the comfort range of humans).

No, on average the water isn't colder than the air.
(A) Oceans are much colder than air during the summer, but that's because the water changes temperature more slowly; the oceans will be much warmer than air during the winter.
(B) Water takes away your heat faster. You will be comfy in 80F air but chill quite quickly in 80F water.
