Chilly surf tomorrow - witch suite?

7 mils up here badly.

 

a good 4/3 is the minimum.

 

I've convinced myself i'll rock the 4/3 all year hoping the booty and mitts with sheep furs will compensate...If I owned more rubber I'd probably wear it tommorow AM.

 

Nah...4/3 and 3mil boots...

 

hooded 4/3, boots and ill break out the gloves since im getting old and air temps will be freezing

 

And 21 degrees at sunrise....

 

4/3 straight to 6/5. Nothin in between. Picked up a cheapo springie this year for one sesh in RI.

 

I spearfished yesterday in 5/4 for about an hour and a half before I got cold, a 4/3 with hood boots gloves is fine but those winds and air temp are going to be rough, I'd probably just use the 5/4. It's early, usually my 4/3 gets me to January

 

5/3 hooded suit, 5mm boots and gloves. it's gonna be 28 degrees and 30 MPH gusts. that's a sure way to keep "warm". if you're wearing anything less, have fun.

 

Yeah wear whatever u got... Get changed at home or in car....4/3 with water flushing in no thanks. 5/4 hood here i come also... Sucks but just a fact

 

Surfed Saturday morning (in LBI) with my hooded 4/3 and 3 mil boots--in the water about 3 hours or so. Hands got cold probably around the last hour or so...wind wasn't howling at 45mph, but wouldn't matter as the water temp felt relatively fine with the hood/thicker suit. I really don't like wearing gloves and put it off as long as I can...guys around me were in 5mils and probably had 5 mil gloves and boots. I still thick you could get away with it...

Also...I had the hot water jug ready to go once I got out...love that thing!!!

 

5/4 boots/gloves first light/dawn patrol session...4/3 hooded as day progresses and back to 5/4 for the close.

Also while the waters still pretty warm, paddle out you winter gear Now. Discover/take care of/replace leaky suits/boots/gloves. I do this Every year, started last week, rather than get caught out with failing equipment.
I'm in RI for geographical reference.
Be Well Surf Often

 

You people have hooded 4/3s and 5/4s? Crazy.

 

Ah seeker of the truth...I will be in LBI first light tommorow were the long wooden structure is...If you see me say hi....

 

Mr. SBX you ain't hard with your "you were wearing gloves"..."4/3 and 5/4" antics...Let me guess you'll tell everybody tommorow you wore a 3/2 and 3 mill booties and you were fine...And I will call BS...

 

I wasn't trying to insult you before, I was surprised you needed gloves south of here, and you explained that you have poor circulation. I doubt I'll surf tomorrow, unless the wind forecast changes, I'm north of you and I hate the way west wind turns out up here. A hooded 4/3 and a 5/4 (presumably also hooded) just seem like they serve the same purpose to me, and I'm surprised that people have both.
