    not sure abut new york bill, but water in delaware is about 56. It is not bad with a 3/2 on a sunny day like today. I just started putting on the 3mm boots/gloves. Almost 4/3 season down here, but not quite yet.

    I had my 4/3 on today with no boots or gloves. Would wear a 3/2 but I am in need of a new one. Waiting for the sales! Boots are definitely coming soon, and gloves also. I saw a few dudes out today in full gear, but I think it's too early for that still!

    I've been wearing a 5/4/3 (no hood) the last two times I've been out because I don't currently have a 4/3. On Sunday in DE I didn't wear boots and my feet were pretty icy after an hour and a half or so. I wore boots yesterday in MD and felt great.

    I'm going tomorrow in Cape Cod, and I might throw on my winter suit for the first time. I've been wearing a 4/3 with booties gloves and good for a couple weeks and my hands got cold last time with my 3mm gloves. Water's down to 49 up here

    I busted the 4/3 out of hibernation this evening... The extra rubber sucks, but it was nice to not be the least bit cold.

    people without boots right now are crazy. We are right in between 3/2 and 4/3 season in my opinion. Boots are a must (for most) and gloves and hood are optional (not for long). It really depends on the day for gloves/hood. I was out during the noreaster and everyone had a hood on. But I haven't worn one since then.

    3'2 in the daytime was perfect. I think tomorrow's going to get cold and super windy, newcasters said it's supposed to feel like 30 out so I'd definally wear a 4'3. Everything but the hood tho

    4/3 boots and gloves on nice days now.

    5/4/3 hooded with boots and gloves when im duckdiving alot or its windy and cold.

    You dont surf better when ur cold. And noone cares if u wear less wetsuit because ur tough even though I see all the ripper-brahhhhs shivering and only paddling out for an hour. Weak.
