With open beach wading in waders, the problem is getting through that first trough - it's often too deep to wade without flooding your waders.
After that, the beach comes up to a terrace and then slowly tapers to the second trough or the offshore trough. The inside of that second dropoff, that's a killer spot to fish - particularly near a cut, it's like an on/off ramp for fish patrolling the beach.
With waders, you can only open beach wade under low surf conditions after a period of favorable wind that has replenished the first trough, otherwise that decent down the first trough is too steep and deep. Open beach wading in a wetsuit greatly expands the opportunities and conditions for this type of fishing.
