wear on top for surfcasting?

I'm about to go on my annual 2 weeks of striper fishing in Maine. One of my favorite parts is hitting the surf from around 4am to 7am with the fly rod. I've had good luck the last few years. I generally just wade out in swim trunks, no shirt. I know this sounds rookie, because it is. I get pretty cold once a wave or 2 get me. I don't want something too warm because I get hot easily. Is there a light weight wet top that keeps you somewhat warm? I appreciate any suggestions.

I have a light NRS top that I like for hot summer months. You can grab one at REI I think.

yeah, surfing top or an NRS top will be perfect for you.

I checked out the NRS top and that seems like what I need. Thank you for the suggestions.
