Long wetsuits needed all year round - although people were seen in shorties some times. Air around 30°C in the summer, down to 15°C in the winter. The water is pretty cold, around 10-15°C in the summer and 13-17°C in the winter. The longer the Southeaster (prevailing summer wind) blows, the colder the surface water gets. Doesn't matter much in summer though.
