Huareva sea temperatures peak in the range 25 to 27°C (77 to 81°F) on around the 1st of March and are at their minimum on about the 26th of August, in the range 19 to 21°C (66 to 70°F). Year round warm sea temperatures at Huareva climb to their maximum at the beginning of March. Even then a rash vest and board shorts should be fine for surfing at any time of year. The minimum Huareva sea temperatures in the fourth week of August require something like a 3/2mm fully sealed wetsuit.
Actual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at Huareva 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 Huareva.
