i was just messing around doing stand up yesterday in board shorts hahha. only for fifteen minutes tho hahahha, real cold yo. but i have noticed in the past couple years that the water has been getting warmer, earlier in the year.
i'd say by May 8th, water temps in NJ will be roughly around 55. i know im deffiently not wearing more then 3mm boots and 3/2 when it becomes may...i hate hoods and gloves.
