(click thumbnails to expand) Below is a graph of Historical Sea Surface Temperature for Cayucos Pier. This has been derived from analysis of two decades of oceanographic satellite measurements of nearby open water. We have calculated the average water temperature variation around the year as well as the extremes that have been observed on each date.
All of the graphs for the surf breaks presented on Surf-Forecast.com are on the same scale to enable comparison between locations around the world. Cayucos Pier sea temperatures peak in the range 15 to 19°C (59 to 66°F) on around the 2nd of September and are at their minimum on about the 25th of March, in the range 12 to 14°C (54 to 57°F). The highest seasonal sea temperatures at Cayucos Pier in early September lend themselves to a 4/3mm wetsuit or a 3/2mm suit and 3mm neoprene boots. The minimum sea temperatures at Cayucos Pier in late March are ideally suited to a 4/3mm wetsuit + 3mm boots, although a 5/3mm wetsuit may be preferable for longer sessions and cold windy days. Actual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at Cayucos Pier 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 Cayucos Pier.
