I've got O'Niell surf suit with hyperstretch shoulders. 3/2 good from Late May - Oct. (Bascially 60deg) if it is cold I add a 1mm top. 3mm socks and 2mm boots for the sand. If it is windy I through a dry top over it for non deep wading.
I don't recommend swimming in Newport Harbor with it after Thanksgiving @ 47deg though

After much research i went with a surf suit for flexibility
also picked up botties and a 1 piece hood/rashgaurd
i went with 4/3 thickness for all around use in june through sept, not sure what it will be like in october.

I took my PADI certification at Nahant that weekend, dang that was cold
And in NE you have the best visibility after T-Day.
Friends surf all winter as there are better waves too. |

It's not the bait
At the end of your line
It's the fishing hole
Where all the fish is blind
