Lynemouth Beach sea water temperatures peak in the range 13 to 17°C (55 to 63°F) on around the 10th of August and are at their coldest on about the 23rd of February, in the range 4 to 8°C (39 to 46°F). The warmest seasonal sea water temperatures at Lynemouth Beach in early to mid August lend themselves to a 4/3mm wetsuit or a 3/2mm suit and 3mm neoprene boots. The coldest sea water temperatures at Lynemouth Beach mean that you will need a flexible 6/5/4mm wetsuit or a well fitting 5/4mm wetsuit with gloves and 5mm neoprene booties and a hood to surf here in the fourth week of February.

Actual sea surface water temperatures close to shore at Lynemouth Beach 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 Lynemouth Beach.
