That last week of wind of stirred up some ice cubes and brought down the water temps to the Cold As Fuck range. My shit was freezing last night. I thought I was being a big crysack as I was sqeezing into the 4/3 in the porking lot. Felt like it was little overkill. El Nino's been keeping it super warm all winter. I haven't needed anything more than the 3/2. Lots of days I could've gotten away with a spring suit. I slapped on the booties and waddled out. Lots of fun, lots of pockets. I needed every bit of that neoprene to keep my grissle warm. I was defintely NOT toasty. Hands were actually cramping into useless, shovel-like structures. Water temps in the low 50's are uncommon around there parts. Use the purple wax. Hope it warms up soon so we can jump back in the three/two and get to yelling at folks properly.
It is so fucking cold now that all of that wind did all of that upwelling. I had to swim for the board a few times yesterday. Now THAT was painful. My skull got cold!! And my 4/3 wasn't even keeping me warm enough. I hate spring waves, but I welcome some warmer weather.
