In summer season you don't need a wetsuit. But you could take it with you because it could be a little colder. The water has something like 25°C, the air can be upt to 35°C but it can be 20°C as well. The summer season is from June to August. You can surf off-season as well but a wetsuit is needed. Air: summer 25-35°C, winter 5-15°C. Water: summer 20-25°C, winter 5-10°C. Sometimes there is a cold current, so a wetsuit is also in the summer recommended.
