Year round warm sea water temperatures at Ristorante or La Toscana 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 sea water temperatures at Ristorante or La Toscana in late February 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 Ristorante or La Toscana 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 Ristorante or La Toscana.
