Wetsuit for Portugal next week

Postby cha1n » Thu Jul 05, 2018 1:11 pm

Hey guys, I'm heading to Sagres next week with my gf. Will a 3/2 shorty be OK or will I need a full length? Thanks!

Use the male testimonial system, wear what you have jump in the water if your testimonials become two lumps in your throat , buy a thicker long wetsuit! :lol:

Yeah, this is a very personal matter. I go to France next week. There a shorty is good in good weather, but when its windy and/or overcast, I take the full suit. Water is typically colder in Portugal.

I'd take the 3/2 full suit. I was in the Algarve last week and the water is still cold.

4/3 for me when the water / air temp is like that. But hey, you're from UK. You're probably fine without a wetsuit ;)
