Asuncion Bay water temperatures peak in the range 20 to 26°C (68 to 79°F) on around the 5th of September and are at their coldest on about the 24th of March, in the range 16 to 19°C (61 to 66°F). Asuncion Bay water temperatures are always warm reach their highest at the beginning of September. You'll need a 2mm neoprene top or a shorty at dawn/dusk or if it's windy. The coldest seasonal water temperatures at Asuncion Bay in the fourth week of March lend themselves to a 4/3mm wetsuit or a 3/2mm suit and 3mm neoprene boots.

Actual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at Asuncion Bay can vary by several degrees compared with these open water averages. This is especially true after heavy rain, close to river mouths or after long periods of strong offshore winds. Offshore winds cause colder deep water to replace surface water that has been warmed by the sun. Air temperature, wind-chill and sunshine should also be considered before deciding on the kind of wetsuit needed to stay warm when surfing at Asuncion Bay.
