If it's short term almost anything will work as long as it's a fairly good
fit.
Make sure you have a hood, (I've known a couple of warm water divers who
thought they would not need one.) gloves and boots.
I'd go with 7.5 in a farmer John but I get cold very easily.

I'd get a drysuit.

If you really want a wetsuit: 7 mm, Farmer John + hooded vest + beaver tail jacket.
