Pereque-Acu sea water temperatures peak in the range 24 to 28°C (75 to 82°F) on around the 26th of February and are at their lowest on about the 25th of July, in the range 19 to 22°C (66 to 72°F). Year round warm sea water temperatures at Pereque-Acu climb to their warmest in the fourth week of February. Even then a rash vest and board shorts should be fine for surfing at any time of year. Pereque-Acu sea water temperatures are lowest in late July. Surfers should use a 2mm long sleeve shorty or a 3/2mm spring wetsuit if the wind is up.

Actual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at Pereque-Acu 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 Pereque-Acu.
