Aside from choosing a surf board for your surf lesons, choosing the tight wetsuit is a must. There are many types of wetsuit varying in thickness, quality of neoprene, length, zip styles and more. When picking a wetsuit, you will need to take into account your budget, how often you are going surfing, your ability level, where you are surfing, what time of year you are surfing and more.
How a wetsuit works is by allowing water in between your body and the wetsuit. You need a tight wetsuit that seals well around the ankles and the wrists and neck etc so there is minimal flow of water through your wetsuit.
Then your body heat warms up the water and this water keeps you warm. Hence, if your wetsuit is loose and not sealing well, the water flows through and doesn't keep you warm.

I've been in the water year round in the UK for over 20 years and never worn anything more than a good fitting winter wetsuit. After all it isn't the sea you need to worry about, it is the getting changed in the car park bit which admittedly is where dry suits offer some benefit! One last thing to note is wind chill, most wetsuits are designed for the biggest wetsuit market, surfers. Surfers don't got out when it is howling windy and horrible. They want clean glassy waves.
So for a surfing suit windchill isn't really an issue. The suits all use double lined neoprene which is more durable with maybe a small patch of single lined neoprene on the chest panel. Single lined neoprene is totally smooth on one side, this side is normally on the outside and it repels water and cannot get wet. As it repels water and can't get wet it hugely reduces windchill. The downside is it is very fragile against slicing from foreign objects, think fins, and rocks Because of this most suits use a very small amount of single lined neoprene.
This is a shame as for us single lined is what we want to fend off the wind chill. There are a few wind sport specific suits out there, O'Neill make one, James from Naish has it and swears by it, and Spartan make some as well which is probably why GRF loves them so much. There are lots of suits to choose from but by far and away the most important thing is fit.
