Has anyone been at the bay lately? What are the water temps like? Can I get buy with a long legged, short sleeved 3/2?

Well, I drove down to the bay

Well, I drove down to the bay and answered the question myself. There were a number of kiters there yesterday. Everyone had long legged neoprene on. The suits ranged from heavy 5/3 to light 3 mm. Once again the kinky had their boardshorts on over the suits. All thought that they were warm.

wetsuit

Not sure about that spot, but last weekend I was at Hardings. Started in my 3/2 and I was cold...especially when I was standing around between sessions. Ended up putting on my 6/5 which was a bit too warm. Ideally a 4/3 would be perfect right now.

Thanks for the reply.

Thanks for the reply. Waquoit Bay will be warmer than Hardings in that it is a shallow bay closer to the protection of the Vineyard from the open ocean.

Definitely you must be ready

Definitely you must be ready for the waxy leaves. Yesterday we were wearing 3 mm suits. It was great to get out in the water and launch the two Wacko Docs.

Attire....

I wear my pink pajamas in the summer when it's hot, i wear my flannel nightie in the winter when it's not, and sometimes in the winter and sometimes in the fall, I kite around Wacky Bay with nothing on at all! Wink
