How do you stay warm/dry at the beach this time of year?

I'm gearing up for water hunting this year and planning to go do some beach hunting down near Beachcomber in the next week or so. How do you all keep warm and dry on the beach this time of year? I'm looking at some waist high neoprene waders from Cabelas and a fleece liner.
Here's the gear so far, aint it cool! My beach scoop arrived today, its a Babbs. I'm just finishing up a hip-mount with a quick disconnect. Those are prototype clamps fresh off the cnc mill, I'm moving the battery and electronics way back up the stock shaft for better balance.
 
I dont get in the water as I live in Socal and the waves action is too much. But I think your on the right track.
The key is to layer.
For parts of your body that do not get in the water, first you should have a water absorbent layer such as a silk, silk/wool blend, or nylon (polar tech?) inner garment like those from Cabelas. Secondly fleece to insulate and lastly the water proof outer wear for the rain.
For parts of your body that gets in the water, basically, all you need is neoprene. I wear 3mm all year round. For lower temps, 4-5mm or ask your local dive shop. Rubbing olive oil on your skin keeps the water out even more when wearing a dive suit. I think other oils may attack the neoprene.
Wear neoprene gloves, booties and a good beanie.
HH, bing
 
After much web searching I decided to go with a Cabelas waist high neoprene wader and their fleece liner. Also a pair of Henderson hyperstretch 7mm neoprene boots. I went with the bootless wader so that I could use a pair of felt soled river boots in the local creeks this summer.
Thanks for the info it was helpful.
 
Yup, that's right. But that's not a big suprise, because I hear they were asking an arm and a leg for it! <img src="/metal/html/lol.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":lol"> <img src="/metal/html/grin.gif" border=0 width=15 height=15 alt=":grin">
