Women's Wetsuits

Choosing your thickness

Wetsuit thickness is shown as two numbers (for example 3/2mm): torso first, then limbs. Through a Southern California year, a 3/2mm covers spring to fall and a 4/3mm handles winter water in the high 50s°F. If you run cold or surf early, size your warmth up and consider a hood and boots.

Full suits, springers, and jackets

Full suits are your cold water staple, spring suits handle the shoulder seasons, and a vest or jacket adds core warmth over a swim or surf bottom on warm days. Look for flatlock seams in warm water suits and sealed (glued and blind stitched) seams in winter suits.

Fit that paddles

The best suit fits close with no gaps at the lower back or knees, yet still lets you take a full breath and reach through a stroke. Rinse in fresh water and dry in the shade after each surf. Heading somewhere warm? Add a board bag and shop our surfboards for the trip.

Frequently asked questions

How do I know my wetsuit size?

Go by the brand's size chart using your height and weight first, then check fit: the suit should be snug with no loose folds at the lower back or behind the knees, while still letting you breathe deeply and paddle freely. Between sizes, most people size to the closer height match.

What thickness do women's wetsuits come in for California?

A 3/2mm suits spring through fall in Southern California, and a 4/3mm keeps you warm in winter water that drops into the high 50s°F. Colder sessions may warrant a hood and boots.

Can I wear a spring suit instead of a full suit?

Yes. Spring suits (short arms and legs) are ideal for warmer water and milder days. They give more freedom of movement, and a full suit is the call once the water turns cold.
