Boot waders with thick woolen socks on over jeans and thermals if required. Usually does the job for me just gotta be careful not to get hit by a wave.

I find being crotch deep in water is the norm on a surf beach rather the exception, hence asking my questions regarding protection from the cold and mobility.tommyfishunter wrote:Boot waders with thick woolen socks on over jeans and thermals if required.

I can't seem to find something light that keeps my legs warm and dry and not restrict walking long distances, I've always been a bait fisho so mobility is not an issue, I cast the the bait out and sit on a stool in the same area.
shorts with thongs or sandals are not an option for me in winter.
What have you found that works ?
