When do i have to get a thicker wetsuit?

Question

i live in michigan and i surf the great lakes. the best waves are in october and november. i have a 3/2 wetsuit and was wundering if it would keep me warm enough to surf in 35 degree water for a few hours or if i needed to invest in a thicker wetsuit?

Answer 1

4/3, that is crazy. I get cold when the water drops below 50 in  my 3/2. You should also check out those heated wetsuits. Have fun lake surfing!!

Get a 4/3! I wear my 3/2 in pretty cold water sometimes, but in 35 degree water your are asking to be a statistic.

Answer 3

To be on the safe side go with a thicker one you'll be able to catch more waves with out hypothermia.
