How cold was that water today!!... I went back to booties and a 4/3
the water is warm in OC
I was in shorts
delaware was frigid. most people including myself were wearing 3/2's.
i've noticed a lot of variability between different spots.
There have been days recently in ocmd that were insanely different. For instance I Dp'd it uptown one day bareback, and went down to 45th that afternoon with only a set of trunks and didn't stop shivering the whole time. Kind of sucks because I've made the wrong call on gear a few times and have ended up freezing or hot as hell. But I wouldn't really complain because last year I can't remember any days that were real warm like the ones we've had so far.Quote:

Even then, the temps at depth were most likely in the low sixties. Even the guards were complaining. Lest any of us forget, Last July 19 we were still wearing full 3/2 wetsuits, for a really good reason. The up side is that it was warm through November, so who's complaining?
