Default Wetsuit Thickness?

I'll be headed to Delray for Christmas. What type of wetsuit should I bring? I've got a 3/2 shorty and a 4/3 full. The 4/3 seems overkill but I dont want to be cold. A little local knowledge would be appreciated (I live in CT). Thanks

You will be fine in a 3/2. The gulf stream keeps the water pretty warm.

I usually wear a 3/2 full on the cold days and a 2/1 shorty when is not so cold. Although I haven't had to use the full one yet due to the warm weather that has been going on (f...ing global warming is killing our colder temps ad therefor our precious wind)
I'd say you'll be ok with the shorty 3/2.

Thanks guys. As an update, I was warm in a rashgaurd, but brought the 3/2 just in case. The 4/3 would have just been overkill unless it was really cold and blowing.

The wooly mammoth's said the same thing 12,000 years ago. Those cavemen and their SUV's provided the example for us to follow on our trek to warm the planet...
