Today, many surfers would wear a spring wetsuit.
Sunny with very warm air temperatures, feeling like 27 °C once we account for air movement. In contrast the sea remains relatively cold (18 °C). Surfers should wear a spring or summer wetsuit though no doubt some would wear less neoprene on such a warm day, no matter what temperature the sea is.

Baird Bay Reef water temperatures peak in the range 19 to 21°C (66 to 70°F) on around the 1st of March and are at their lowest on about the 1st of September, in the range 15 to 16°C (59 to 61°F). The highest Baird Bay Reef water temperatures at the beginning of March require something like a 3/2mm fully sealed wetsuit. The lowest seasonal water temperatures at Baird Bay Reef at the beginning of September 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 Baird Bay Reef 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 Baird Bay Reef.
