Island view beach is the place to go.. lots of hazards on a good day but in 12knots you'll struggle against currents.. a good sou'Easter can have 20 to 30knots easy with a good shore break to negotiate!! Careful starting out in the 30 plus and always ensure you gear is operating well

AJ... yes this suit is sweet... almost think you could get away with an R3 which is 4.5/3.5mm if you mostly sail the spring through to fall in the ocean!
