    La Laguna sea water temperatures peak in the range 24 to 30°C (75 to 86°F) on around the 7th of September and are at their minimum on about the 27th of March, in the range 17 to 20°C (63 to 68°F). Year round warm sea water temperatures at La Laguna climb to their warmest in the first part of September. Even then a rash vest and board shorts should be fine for surfing at any time of year. The minimum La Laguna sea water temperatures in the last days of March require something like a 3/2mm fully sealed wetsuit.

    Actual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at La Laguna 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 La Laguna.
