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. Puerto Fiel water temperatures peak in the range 21 to 25°C (70 to 77°F) on around the 10th of February and are at their coldest on about the 7th of August, in the range 15 to 20°C (59 to 68°F). Puerto Fiel water temperatures are always warm reach their warmest in early to mid February. You'll need a 2mm neoprene top or a shorty at dawn/dusk or if it's windy. The coldest seasonal water temperatures at Puerto Fiel in the first part of August 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 Puerto Fiel 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 Puerto Fiel.
