Autumn from March to May will still have some warm water temps but air temps will be getting chilly. Reverse for Spring, with September through November having cold water with air temps slowly warming up.

Having an 'in-between suit' in your quiver will have you covered through these unpredictable transition seasons, or for deeper south, even a lighter weight steamer.

Our top picks?

Our Bahia 2mm Long Sleeve Springsuit (in the cheeky or mid-cut) are a common choice along the South Coast for Autumn/Spring. Good warmth through the body and arms, plenty of protection from the sun, all in a suit that's easy to get in and out of in a flash.

The Bahia 2mm Short Sleeve Full Steamer is another popular choice for those girls that like the extra warmth in the legs and a little more freedom in the arms.

If you feel the cold or are further south consider stepping up to a Bahia 3/2mm Steamer. The Bahia has glued and blindstitched seams (GBS), MeshSkin chest/back panels and SuperGrill liner, with our seasonal Surf Series print. The internal liner makes it a toasty warm suit.
