During the summer (June-Sept), it's no problem to ride in just board shorts. From April to June and September to October the water requires a 3/2-wetsuit. Other times during the year you need a dry suit. We ride here in 3/2-wetsuit from April to October. But one to two months during the summer we can ride in just board shorts.
