I moved from Northern California to Orange County and the water temp here is mostly a
little warmer than that esp at shallower depths. Moreover the air here is warm and sun is
strong. I'm comfortable here in 7/5 mm Henderson Gold with hooded vest.

I tried diving a few times in my dry suit in San Diego area and was overheating badly.
Twice I tried shore diving in my dry suit and nearly passed out from overheating. The suit
was great in Monterey where the air is cool, but it's too warm here. It's the Whites
ProDry 7mm neoprene and is best for cooler climate. The suit comes with a separate hood
and integrated boots. Color is black with purple.

That's what I was thinking - both times I've dove in the Channel Islands
(late Dec, early Jan) I was in a drysuit - glad to have it, too.
