well its starting to get a little cold here, but hot enough to wear a rashie and bordies. Im wondering what type of wettie would i need when winter is in full blow here. Im juggling with billabong and oneill wetties any sugestions?

Temperatures range from 10-24C or 50-75F

I have one of those but wouldnt that be a little too toasty for the temp ranges described?

Maybe something a little thinner and get more layering for on the colder days? Or a 5-3 but by a crappy make.

Guys in the local surf shop would be able to advise you very well too.

Na rap up warm. After 5 hours of sitting around waiting for some wave`s, you`ll be glad of the extra comfort. :lol:

I wear a cheapo 2.5mm in 12-18 degree water. Going to get something better once winter bites a little.

Your temp seems to be close to our temp. range. I have a 4/3 Body Glove Vapor Lock and it is perfect for the temps. I would just make sure it is a good quality suite.
