Hi,
Me and the wife are arriving in Sydney next week for six weeks up the coast, and I want to know if I should pack my 3mm wetsuit?
I've had conflicting advice so far. Some say no (Warmest water of the year), some say yes (bluebottles).
What do you guys reckon?
"Up the coast" goes for a couple of thousand k's.
Where abouts are you heading??
Yep, the water is very warm this time of the year!!
SUNNY COAST - 23-24 Deg C at present.
6 weeks time likely within a degree.
Further north 200+ kms likely stay stable.
Stingers - yep some always around - but dominantly after a few days of solid NE'ly
Long sleeve Rashie / board shorts covers if it is a problem.
I get wet 4 -5 times a week Boards / swimming / Kiting (never enough)- once this season opted not to go in due to stingers.
Having said that I always wear a shortie - SPF50+ and no stingers around the jewelry.
Full 3 mm will be 
hot.

The worrying thing about that photo is that Captain Condom is wearing shiny brown leather shoes. Surely they should be something furry. Ugg boots mebbe?
