Warm winds and Narragansett surf n skate are good shops. Narragansett town beach usually has decent surf and the beach isn’t horribly rocky. I say start there. You’ll meet plenty of people. A 4/3 suit and a 5/4 are good to have, especially if you plan to surf in winter. Plus hood, gloves, booties. Trunks in summer and a 3/2 suit early spring end of summer. New England is one of those places you basically need all the suits.

If you’ve already got a 3/2 and plan to surf in the winter I’d focus my money on getting a quality 5/4. The thicker the rubber the nicer it is to have the high end stretchy stuff.

You can make a 3/2 work with accessories until it’s time to go 5/4. A 4/3 is nice, but it’s not a necessity IMO.

Does the water get to the temp warranted in the cold months?

Elaborate? Water gets to the low 30s mid-late January depending on the winter we are having
