Question How warm is the water?

I'm coming down to Newquay next week to learn to surf and was wondering how warm/cold the water is? I wakeboard in Scotland so am used to colder water, but was hoping my shortie wetsuit would be enough in Newquay.

Cheers

Skippy

I'm in summer suit 3/3/2mm no boots at the moment, just starting to get a bit cold by the end of a session if the air temp is down

FaZe, I must be a bit of a woose, I won't go near the water at that time of year unless I'm wearing a winter suit, boots, gloves and hood (any fool can be cold, it's not as much fun surfing if you're gibbering!)
