Today it is 25.9 C = 79 F in the surf

Lowest temp February 22 (on average) is 21 C = 70 F
Highest temp August 29 (on average) is 29 C = 84 F

We have had lower temps and higher temps (67 F to 88 F)

Last year in late July we had "Upwelling" and the ocean temp dropped from 82 F to 69F overnight !!
It lasted 2-3 days

I used a fullsuit 2/3 mm once in the past season (hated it)
Mostly 2mm shorty or 1.5mm sleeveless top
But for the past 2 wks skinning it

It starts around 32F, or 0c, and goes up from there to bathtub temperature. Below that, it is in a form that is much more solid, and we're on skis and snowboards.

Did Toby promise u a free DVD if you start a ton of ridiculous posts?

Not yet

You got to admit i made you look

Hey Clydesdale go ahead let's see some new stuff (posts) from you

2 years ago I was touring Hokkaido in Japan in January, -8 Celsius and snowing, totally overcast and gray and I saw 2 surfers in the water, seemed to wear wetsuit not drysuit... kudos and cojones to these Japanese ninja surfers! I felt cold just looking at them.

here in Jamaica , pretty warm , not sure the exact temp. A lot of the time i'll get hot and wanna cool off so i'll kite a bit further out to deeper cooler waters and just sit there in the water for a minute or two and cool down and probably end up having a pee too lol

Winter - 50 F - 4/3 full wetsuit
Summer - 65 F - spring suit or rash guard/ vest for wind protection

Here in Paracuru, Brazil its 26 degrees Celcius (79F) all year round
No need for a wetsuit, drysuit or any of those uncomfortable things.
Just boardshorts, sunnies and dont forget your sun cream lotion!

Remember that pee attracks the sharks too! So dont sit there for too long
