Water: 66 Air: 52 Wind: NW @ 15 mph...What would you do?

What's a suit?

 

when choosing a wetsuite - different factors play in.....
water temp? sure; but as our friends complaint shows...it can be beautiful and warm..and still freezing...
make the choice to be warm.....cause those that make the wrong choice always do the same thing.

they get out before they had to.

 

pretty much same conds. in nj
I wore a 3/2
pu$$y
jk, I got out cause NW winds just toppled it

 

if you have a good 4/3 I don't think there neccacary until water hits 50's despite whatever the weather is

 

NJ was low 50's and water is 65

 

it was literally the same exact conditions as you stated you noob, our winds were probably howling even harder tuff boi

 

must've been a pretty weak 3/2.

 

saw a kid on saturday wearing a hooded 5/4

 

You got cold in your 3/2 so I guess you'd go for a warmer suit. If you have a 4/3 thats a good place to start. 20 years ago you used to see people out in January in trunks because the internet didnt exist to tell them it was getting freezing cold out. Those were crazy times.

 

Is smoke a doob and bang some Hindus an acceptable answer?

 

That's always a highly acceptable answer and/or passtime.

 

On the subject of wetties, I was surfing Folly on Sat and saw some funny stuff. It was 82F air temp and 75F water temp, yet there were many people out in full suits. I was quite comfy in boardies alone.

 

Dude. What ever you do- like mentioned before- just make sure you have cool colors on your wetsuite.


Don't worry about the cold.


I got a sweet under armour shirt from Marshall's that I will wear in these windy conditions. Helps with the wind chill. Plus I could still rock my suite with its sick colors...

 

Water 68, Sat afternoon I was in a 2mm top and trunks. I wouldn't recommend it but my other option was 4/3 which I thought would be overkill. 2.5hrs until I was cold enough to get out.
And there was a guy in a hood and booties next to me. 3/2 would have been perfect or farmer.

 

just wear the 3/2, im from nj and i put my 3/2 on for the first time sunday. enjoying the warm water while it's still here

 

I wore my 3/2 and was warm...but my freakin head froze. Wish I had a hood...ears we're hurting bad too cause the cold and gale force wind.
