A summer wetsuit is ideal for use in warmer water temperatures, generally between 15°C and 25°C (60°F to 72°F), where full thermal insulation isn’t required, but some protection is still essential. Summer wetsuits provide light insulation to keep you comfortable during long sessions, especially on cooler mornings, windy days, or after extended time in the water.

Beyond warmth, a summer wetsuit also offers critical protection from the sun. Neoprene acts as a barrier against harmful UV rays, reducing the risk of sunburn and long-term skin damage, especially during peak daylight hours when you're most exposed. It also helps protect against rashes, stings, and abrasions from your board or reef making it a smart choice even in tropical climates where thermal protection isn’t the primary concern.

You can use our intuitive Size Finder tool. Input your body height, weight, chest and waist size and we’ll recommend the perfect wetsuit size. Sizes are body sizes, not garment dimensions. If you have multiple matches in the Size Finder, choose the smaller size for a snug fit and less water entry, or the bigger size for more comfort and getting in and out of your wetsuit easier. All body types are different, the size chart is a guideline only. 

Measuring tips:

• Body height- Measure your height in a straight line from flat ground to the top of your head.
• Chest size- Measure around the widest part of your chest, just under your armpits at the nipple line.
• Waist size- Measure around your waistline, just above your belly button and below your rib cage.

Proper care will extend the life and performance of your SRFACE wetsuit. After each session, rinse your wetsuit thoroughly with fresh, cold water to remove salt, sand, and other residues. Do not use hot water, detergents, or machine washing, as these can degrade the neoprene and seams.

Turn your wetsuit inside out while drying to protect the outer surface from UV damage. Hang it on a wide, padded hanger or fold it at the waist over a drying rack to prevent shoulder stretch. Avoid direct sunlight and heat sources (like radiators or car trunks) which can cause the neoprene to become brittle over time.

Once fully dry inside and out, store your wetsuit in a cool, dry, and shaded place. For long-term storage, keep it hanging or loosely folded without creases, and avoid placing heavy items on top of it. With regular care, your SRFACE wetsuit will remain flexible, warm, and ready for the water whenever you are.

It’s best to avoid drying your wetsuit in direct sunlight. While it might seem like the quickest option, prolonged sun exposure can damage the neoprene, causing it to dry out, crack, and lose flexibility over time. UV rays can also fade the fabric and weaken the materials, shortening your wetsuit’s lifespan. For best results, rinse your wetsuit with fresh water after each session and hang it to dry in the shade, inside-out first, then flip it once the inside is dry.
