Answer 2

I wouldn't bother getting boots right now, the waves aren't going to get a whole lot better until Aug/Oct/Nov. If you're going to get boots, get them for the winter b/c they're probably going to be on sale.

I still use boots now, a 3/2 split toe. From Nov. to Feb., I usually use a 7mm round toe or 5mm round toe. Split toes are nice, but when its really cold, your big toe will pretty much freeze off. Mid-Feb you're okay with a 5/4 split toe or 3/2 if you're not out for too long.

If you have to get one pair, go with a 5/4 split toe. I use the Oneill Superfreak booties, run you about 60-70 bucks. At this time, you're generally okay without gloves. However, if its really windy, thats going to make it feel a whole lot colder, so keep that in mind.

Answer 4

i have been surfing ocean city maryland all day, and i was just out again today, and the water was around 56-57. i was in a 5mm fullsuit and was fine. once memorial day comes, you dont really need boots, gloves, and a hoodie, but from about thanksgiving to early-mid may, its a good idea to have them. its extremely flat, about knee high occosionaly, but its gonna pick up tuesday into wednesday.
