Will I need a wetsuit in Perth, Melbourne, Sydney (basically everywhere) by April. I know I wont in January but will I later on?

that is actually the same as i was wondering.
i have to choose between a very warm 6/5/3 wetsuit, a 3/2 d/l shortleg and a shorty..
which one shall i take with me to perth from february to july..?

so please give me some input as well for my choice..

Hey Mathias,

I surf through the winter in Perth and down south occassionally and only really need a 3/2 steamer.

if you need any more than that, put a radiator on under the steamer and you'll be sorted. It's usually my hands and feet that get too cold in mid winter with the rest of it being OK.

In late summer I wear a 2x2 long sleeve shorty which is a bit of overkill, but I like it for sun protection as well.

in summer I just ride in a rashy and boardies mainly for rash protection and sun block.

See ya on the water,

par: When do the sea breezes typical start slowing down in WA?

Would a 3/2 be plenty for Sydney,Melbourne?

Does anyone know a site with wind statistics for Australia?

Thanks
