i wear a 5 mm henderson farmer john bottom with a 1.5 mm pullover top meant for surfers when its warm enough. a 7 mm henderson hyperstretch one piece suit when its cold.

for footwear, i wear neoprene socks and the korkers shoes that look like sneakers (which are awsome, just got them this year, much better than wearing wading boots)

dry top can be helpful on a cold night but I typically avoid them (i hate dry tops). one thing to keep in mind is that dry tops or any tops make swimming alot more difficult, especially in a current or undertow. tried swimming with a grundens petrus pullover on cutty last weekend and had a tough time swimming back in in a moderate surf.
