Today, many surfers would wear a rashvest wetsuit.
Sunny with very warm air temperatures, feeling like 25 °C once we account for any wind. Sea temperatures (24 °C) warm too. Staying warm in the water won't be a problem in board-shorts, but wear at least a rash-vest to keep the UV off.

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.
Helios Bay sea temperatures peak in the range 26 to 29°C (79 to 84°F) on around the 11th of August and are at their coldest on about the 1st of March, in the range 15 to 16°C (59 to 61°F). Year round warm sea temperatures at Helios Bay climb to their highest in the second week of August. Even then a rash vest and board shorts should be fine for surfing at any time of year. The coldest seasonal sea temperatures at Helios Bay at the beginning 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 Helios 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 Helios Bay.
