l know it is a silly q! But l really wanna go for lessons, but not sure what time of year surfers, surf, in the UK. At what point in the autumn/winter is the 'cut off' point, where l would be unlikely to get lessons? Thanks! : )

From the sea front in Sydmouth Devon UK l can see surfers all year round.

Waves though are only a couple of feet.

yea they use wetsuits

in the heigh of summer u may get away with just shorts if ur harcore enough but u will start to feel the chill more quickly.you have summer suits in full with legs & arms shorties tshirt arms & short legs these r made of thin neoprene hich warms a layer of water between ur skin & the suit using ur body heat.as the water gets colder ur suit needs to be thicker lets say in winter l use a 5mm/3mm suit with boots & glove of the same thickness. 5mm rubber on body & les 3mm on arms & neck & crotch area for movement.so yes u can surf all year round if u dont then ur no surfer hope u find this usefull.speak to ur local surf shop they should advise u on what u need without rpping u off if not befriend a surfer ask for there advise most will be only to pleased to offer there help.
