    I was surfing yesterday, north Monmouth county new jersey

    weather was sunny with light off shores high 50s maybe low 60's
    water temp. 57 to 59 degrees
    1 to 3 footers clean

    as dusk came, weather became cooler and breezier
    adding some texture and smaller size
    that's when i became cold

    3/2 o'neil with 2 mil gloves, no hood no booties,
    feet were cold but ok, face/head no problem

    So I ask?
    Where is ur general location
    what are the current conditions
    what r u wearing

    On LI Iv been going 3/2 with boots. Boots are needed for the walk to the water more so than in the water. On a few windy days I pulled out a 4/3 with hood. No gloves.

    Probably getting colder though. Hadn't surfed in about a week and a half. Should have waves this week but ieffed up my knee a bit so I may have to sit it out. I need to surf

    I checked the nj cams yesterday and was surprised there was a nice little wave out there with the offshores.its getting colder so the 4/3 will do...I sincerely hope we get a thanksgiving swell this year,which we normally do..its already dark when I get off work so these midweek swells are no beuno for me

    OCMD yesterday. Started with a 3/2 but got cold after a couple hours. Air temperature and wind drove me to put on my 4/3 for session #2. Water was only 60 or so but air was a chilly 45 in the AM.

    I hear ya, Cep... Been out of town the past few days, so missed out. But tomorrow and Tuesday I'll be wearing the 4/3, 3mil boots and 2mil gloves. Not planing on wearing a hood 'cause it should be sunny. But I'll bring the squid cap in case...

    A fishnet thong. It ensures I have the break to myself...

    Kidding aside, it's been a 2/1 shorty. Water temps have been in mid 60s. Last week, daytime air temps ranged from mid 60s to around 80. Mornings now in high 40s-low 50s, so it's been cooling off more lately. Switching to full 4/3 this week - especially for morning sessions now that we're back to Standard Time.
