    usually May. early May can still be real cold, but a nice warm day can help the cause.

    i can usually do 3/2 in water at least 50 degrees, and sunny or warm or just fairly mild air temperature. so for me i hope i can be using mine in april. last year i surfed on st patricks day with a 3/2, and no hood. i think the water temp was maybe a couple degrees higher. then again it was maybe very well around the same temperature as it is now, but the air temperature was a lot warmer that day. 75 degrees i think.
