Waves on the way, what suit are you using?

Where are you surfing? The mid-atlantic is still middle/upper 60's, id stick with a 3/2.

Next time all you have to do is check out some buoy data.....http://www.ndbc.noaa.gov/maps/Southeast.shtml

 

im still wearing a short sleeve 2 mil.. you could easily get away with trunks and a top

 

Yeah, I've been rockin my 3/2 but a springsuit would suffice. Actually been getting a little warm with the fullsuit.

 

shorty this week. Would have been hot in a full 3/2. Waters still like 68!

 

I found a thigh high wave 2 days ago. lol....that must sound lame. But i went in just because i couldn't take it any longer. Mainly just to get wet. But, water was 66 here in NJ not bad.... I trunked it. The air was a little chilly tho.

 

wow

You guys really need to suck it up i trunked it two days ago and was fine. I can't believe you were gonna break out your 5/4 you don't even need one of those in MD. Ive surfed anywhere from December to February to March and April and have never needed more than my 4/3.

 

5 mil?

i don't put a 5 mil on in the dead of winter unless there is snow and 30 mph off shores. 4/3 is perfect in delaware. 3/2 untill early to mid december. right now, shorty or trunks w/top is fine. i trunked it this week with no worries.

 

stiff N winds are going to cool down the air temps this weekend, I'd go with the 3/2 or long sleeve spring.

 

2mil Power Top

 

Are you a 90 year old woman?

 

I've got a 6:4 with hood I can loan ya if you think you might need it,............ah forget it, you'd probably pee in it.

 

you need the suit more for air temp when you sit out of the water then anything. water temp is mad warm

 

weighing in at a solid 142 pounds, yours truly totes a 5/4 in the winter and a 3/2 currently. You must have some solid-ness to you if you can manage a 4/3 year round...but i definitely would steer away from saying that delmarva isn't that cold, or that you can surf in a 4/3 year round!!! BS!! It gets pretty damn cold, unless that's you in the winter coat taking pics when its 17 degrees air temp in the morning while i'm getting shacked.

 

Surifng year round in a 4/3 is possible, i used to do it when i was younger. Then i finally broke down and got a 5/4 one year, and havn't looked back since.

Lately ive found that wearing a little bit thicker suit than i used to keeps my energy levels up, allowing me to surf longer even though i also have to deal with decreased flexibility.

definitely...5/4/3 is unreal at this point in time you need to grow a set or move to florida

 

i surf a 3/2 with 5ml hood & lobster claws and 3ml boots through the dead of winter...

right now still is trunks and a sleeveless vest

 

im gonna call BS on you. if you live up north than you would defiently need at least a 4/3 or up. but if you only surf until the wter gets to like 56 or there with no offshore wind then okay but after that you would be bsing all of us.

 

Spring suit should do
