What a good time for surfing in Sydney! Autumn from March to June will have pretty warm water temps but air temps will be getting chilly. Reverse for Spring, with late September to November having cold water with air temps getting warmer.

Our top picks?

Our Girls Bahia 2mm Long Sleeve Springsuits are easily the most common choice in Sydney 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 the cooler parts of Autumn/Spring you may be happier in the Bahia 3/2mm Steamer which features a thermal firewall to trap the warmth in, or the Reactor II 3/2mm Steamer for great value for money.

If the temperatures are getting really warm you might be happy in just some Lycra. The Girls Thermo Short Arm Crew is warmer than other rashies thanks to its fleecy layer. Or lycra Surfsuits are the most common warm water choice for girls.

It just depends on what’s most important to you - warmth / flexibility / price.
