Find the right women's wetsuit for your conditions

Choosing a wetsuit for women is not just about selecting a size. Water temperature, session duration, season, and frequency of practice directly influence the level of comfort sought. A suitable wetsuit helps maintain warmth, mobility, and energy throughout the session.

Since 1976, HawaiiSurf has been supporting surfing enthusiasts in choosing their gear. A well-fitted wetsuit not only enhances comfort but also allows for more enjoyment during each water outing.

What thickness to choose according to the season?

Thickness is one of the most important criteria when choosing a wetsuit. A women's surf wetsuit in 3/2 mm is generally suitable for waters between 15°C and 20°C. The 4/3 mm remains the most versatile choice for spring, autumn, and much of the year along the French coasts.

For winter sessions, 5/4 mm or 5/4/3 mm models offer more thermal protection. Female surfers looking for the best women's surf wetsuit for winter often complement their gear with Neoprene Booties, Neoprene Gloves, and Neoprene Hoods to retain maximum warmth.

A complete range for all female surfers

Every female surfer has her own expectations regarding comfort, warmth, and freedom of movement. Some prioritize flexibility for long sessions, while others seek excellent thermal insulation above all.

Male surfers can find suitable models in our Men's Wetsuits collection, while younger surfers will benefit from specially designed gear in our Kids' Wetsuits range.

Full suit or shorty?

The choice mainly depends on the season and the conditions encountered. As temperatures rise, many female surfers prefer a Shorty to enjoy greater freedom of movement while still having light protection against wind and cooler water.

Full wetsuits remain essential for extending sessions during transitional seasons and colder periods.

Essential accessories for cold waters

When conditions become more demanding, neoprene accessories become crucial. Neoprene Booties help retain warmth in the feet, while Neoprene Gloves limit thermal loss in the hands.

For winter sessions, Neoprene Hoods provide particularly effective additional protection and significantly extend the time spent in the water.

Preserving your wetsuit longer

A well-maintained wetsuit retains its flexibility, thermal performance, and comfort for a longer time. Rinsing after each session, drying in the shade, and proper storage can significantly increase its lifespan.

Regular use of Neoprene Care products also helps preserve the material's properties and keep your gear performing well season after season.

FAQ — How to Choose the Right Women's Wetsuit

How to choose a women's surf wetsuit?

Choose based on the water temperature, your body type, and your activity, then compare the thickness, seams, lining, and opening. For surfing and bodyboarding, shoulder mobility is particularly important. A suitable wetsuit should fit your body, limit water exchange, and allow you to paddle, get up, and breathe comfortably.

What is the difference between a women's wetsuit and a men's wetsuit?

The women's and men's cuts have different proportions, particularly at the bust, waist, and hips. The actual fit remains the decisive criterion: a suit should match your body shape without causing excessive compression or large pockets. Compare the manufacturer's measurements rather than choosing solely based on your usual clothing size.

How to choose the right size of women's wetsuit?

Measure your height, chest circumference, waist circumference, and hip circumference, then check the brand-specific size chart. Weight can complement this information, but is not sufficient on its own. Sizes numbered 4, 6, 8, or 10 do not automatically correspond to French sizes: check their equivalence on the product sheet before ordering.

What to do if you're unsure between two sizes?

Don't always choose the smallest or the largest. Check which measurements place you between two sizes and compare the fit of the model. A combination that is too loose at the waist but too tight at the chest may require a different cut rather than a different size. When trying it on, test the movements of your arms, breathing, and leg bending.

How to know if a wetsuit fits well?

Position your legs and crotch correctly before putting on the top. The wetsuit should fit snugly against the body without pain, with a comfortable collar and good freedom of movement. Pay particular attention to the lower back, armpits, and crotch. Do not rely on a significant stretch over time to correct a wetsuit that is too small.

What thickness to choose between a 3/2, 4/3, and 5/4 mm wetsuit?

A 3/2 mm wetsuit is generally aimed at milder conditions, a 4/3 mm provides more thermal protection, and a 5/4 mm is suitable for colder waters. Check the recommended temperatures for each model. Wind, session duration, your sensitivity to cold, seams, and lining also affect comfort: thickness alone is not enough.

What do the numbers on a wetsuit mean?

The mentions 3/2, 4/3, or 5/4/3 indicate the thicknesses of material in millimeters used in different areas. Thicker panels prioritize insulation, while thinner panels facilitate movement. Their distribution varies depending on the construction. To compare two wetsuits, also look at the body coverage, seams, and any thermal linings.

Should you choose a full wetsuit or a women's shorty?

A long-sleeve wetsuit covers the arms and legs for more complete protection. A shorty leaves the legs exposed and can have short or long sleeves. Sleeveless models offer yet another level of coverage. Choose based on the actual conditions: a thick shorty does not protect the exposed areas like a full suit does.

What is the difference between back zip, chest zip, and dual zip?

The back zip is located at the back; the chest zip uses an opening at the top of the chest. Their dimensions and ease of putting on vary by model. The Dual Zip Ocean Step references belong to the long-distance swimming range: check the photos and description to understand their opening. A front closure is not necessarily a surf chest zip.

What is the difference between Flatlock seams and GBS?

The Flatlock seams go through the material and allow more water circulation, making them especially suitable for mild conditions. The GBS seams, glued and stitched with blind stitches, limit water entry without going through the entire thickness. Interior strips can enhance their protection. For cooler sessions, compare these finishes as well as the stated millimeters.

Can the same wetsuit be used for surfing and long-distance beach walking?

It depends on the model's program. In surfing, the wetsuit should support paddling and movements on the board. In long-distance swimming, it should facilitate aquatic walking and associated movements. A wetsuit dedicated to one activity is not automatically suitable for all others. Check the fit, openings, and stated uses before making your choice.

Are all the combinations in this collection made of neoprene?

No. The collection also includes models Patagonia Yulex, using a natural rubber-based alternative to neoprene. Check the composition of each item to know the exact materials used. To choose, also compare the fit, thickness, and construction: the name of the material alone does not determine warmth or flexibility.

What accessories to prepare for surfing in cold water?

According to the conditions, add booties, gloves, and a hood, unless the latter is integrated into the wetsuit. Check their size and compatibility with your practice; in bodyboarding, the booties must fit into the fins without compression. These accessories complement a suitable wetsuit, but do not compensate for an overly loose fit or insufficient thermal protection.

How to care for your women's wetsuit after a session?

Rinse the inside and outside with fresh cold water, then let it dry in the shade in a ventilated area, on a suitable support. Avoid direct sunlight, hot water, tumble drying, and pulling on the shoulders when the wetsuit is wet. Follow the manufacturer's instructions for cleaning and storage. Our guide to choosing your wetsuit complements these tips.
