Castle Island sea water temperatures peak in the range 26 to 29°C (79 to 84°F) on around the 7th of August and are at their lowest on about the 1st of March, in the range 19 to 20°C (66 to 68°F). Year round warm sea water temperatures at Castle Island climb to their maximum in the first part of August. Even then a rash vest and board shorts should be fine for surfing at any time of year. The lowest Castle Island sea water temperatures at the beginning of March require something like a 3/2mm fully sealed wetsuit.
Actual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at Castle Island 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 Castle Island.
