If the water temperature is 77 degrees Fahrenheit or 25 degrees Celsius, then a wetsuit is not required. In some cases, any temperature below 77 F or 25 C should be worn with a wetsuit.
72F-77F (22C-25C) - short stature in the morning, evening, and windy conditions.
68F-72F (20C-22C) - Shorts or spring suit (3/2 full) suitable for surfing in cold or windy conditions.
64F-68F (18C-20C) - Full 3/2 set or spring set.
59F-64F (15C-18C) - High quality 3/2 full suit or 4/3 wetsuit with short boots.
54F-59F (12C-15C) - A 4/3 wetsuit with boots is fine, but for extended exposure, a 5/3 suit with boots is best.
48F-54F (9C-12C) - A 5/3 or 5/4/3 wetsuit with boots and gloves is required. In windy conditions, you may need a hood.
48F (< 9C) - 5/3 may work, but the best choice is a 6/5/4 wetsuit. 5 mm or thicker hoods also require high-quality gloves and boots.
In some cases, choosing the right wetsuit can be a matter of life and death. In less extreme conditions, it will be the difference between comfort and cold and pain. Make sure you use the wetsuit temperature guide above to help you make the best choice.
