Hey boo, Outer Banks will be considerably cooler than farther south down here. I'll be in a 3-2 or a spring suit.
3-2 or 4-3 for the Banks.
March can be mercurial, anything from strong nor'easters to gentle southerlies and just about everything in between.
If a big cold front blasts offshore, the Banks catch more of that north swell than we do.

As I'm sure you know, the warm Gulf Stream veers sharply seaward at Cape Hatteras, it meets the cold Labrador Current coming down from the north. Water is significantly chillier there than here.
Outer Banks have more powerful surf though due to its far smaller continental shelf.

Looks grand Steve, perhaps in spring.
Annapolis is a pretty rad little sailing town, lots of hipster cafes and serious money.

I need a new wettie, wherever we go

Back zip or chest zip?

I was actually thinking zipless.

I prefer chest zip on spring suits and back zip on steamers, but mainly because o'neill suits fit me best.

That was a hoot. Watched for a second time tonight. It's actually funnier the second time. It's so off the wall on the first viewing.
