Something like this for the skin suit, https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003554ETU/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_LsD5CbZFK7QNX I guess you could only wear that but I just put it over my jammers.
These for your feet, Deep See Elastain Fin Socks, Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0026PHGRC/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_8zD5CbWJ2GHYW
For a wetsuit it’s all about fit unfortunately. I’m not very brand loyal on wetsuits, just what fits the best. Ideally you’d be looking for something with wrist and ankle seals, integrated hood, and taped seams. Henderson makes one that I know a few people like, Henderson Thermoprene 8/7mm Semi-Dry Mens - Small https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002XAYF2Y/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_avD5CbMS2J6JP it didn’t fit me quite right so I ended up with this https://www.xcelwetsuits.com/shop/product/dive/polar-hydroflex-hooded-dive-fullsuit-876
Hey there.
I dont know about anyone else, but a few of my fluid friends swear by neoprene dive shorts
Something like this - https://www.amazon.com/Cressi-Lido-Lady-Black-Pink/dp/B074QV2JF9/ref=sr_1_9?dchild=1&keywords=neoprene+short+suit&qid=1574776845&sr=8-9
You could even binder under it.
Full set of dry warm clothes, towel, and blanket in a dry bag that is quickly accessible.
Stay close to shore.
Be prepared to change your plans if the weather is not co-operative.
Also - no personal experience with this or recommendation, but this might be interesting for you to consider/look into:

Depends on the weather, might be too warm for the kiddo?
I'm training for my first sprint in June and got this number. Not the flashiest one, and I will likely upgrade in two or three years, but it's worked pretty well so far.
Looks like quite a few ideas to be found on Pinterest if you look for "kids scuba costume":
https://www.pinterest.com/search/pins/?q=kids%20scuba%20costume
It also looks like you can get wet suits for as young as 2 if you wanted that part of the play suit to be more realistic:
https://www.amazon.com/Cressi-Kids-Sleeve-Swimsuit-Black/dp/B07DS831BH/
Like these http://www.amazon.com/NeoSport-SX310UN-Wetsuits-XSPAN-Pants/dp/B0035549RW. You'll need them if you want to go in the water, and for the Narrows, the majority of the hike is in water. It us beautiful though.
Retired collegiate swimmer, I went a few years of racing without having a wetsuit. The water temps at my local races tend to be 70-80 F during summer months. Last year I did get an Xterra and have enjoyed it so far. I would go sleeveless and something a little on the thinner side since you probably dont need the buoyancy. You could also look at a swim skin which will probably be my next swim related purchase since I'm comfortable in cooler water.
I have been attempting to solve this problem for myself for several years, and I have had some success. I wear SPDs on my commute and don't want to have to use platforms in bad weather. It is really hard to find completely waterproof shoe covers. So far, I have found two kinds that I am happy with.
It is not completely clear from your post whether you are also wearing raingear while you ride (i.e. rain pants). If you are, then these: Showers Pass should keep your socks dry as long as you keep your pant cuffs over the top of the shoe cover, so that water running down your leg doesn't enter at the cuff.
I cut out a hole in the bottom of those so that I can clip into my pedals. In heavy weather, a small amount water will eventually leak in through the base of the shoe around the cleat plate. I counteracted this with duct tape on the inside of the shoe under the insole. Has worked so far.
I am thinking of upgrading to these [Endura Overshoes] (http://www.chainreactioncycles.com/Models.aspx?ModelID=17096) because they look warmer and more durable.
If you are not wearing rainpants, then I think these overshoes are still the best bet, and you can cinch the ankle cuffs better using those velcro pant cuff reflector things if you are getting a lot of leakage.
Oh yeah, and in my DIY efforts I bought a pair of wetsuit booties that were several sizes larger than my shoe and cut out holes for the pedal clips. Warmer, more waterproof and more durable than typical bike overshoes, but a little clowny since my feet are already kind of large.
https://www.amazon.com/Tilos-Titanium-Booties-Puncture-Resistance/dp/B004EWSFHU/ref=sr_1_39?ie=UTF8&qid=1510175872&sr=8-39&keywords=scuba+booties
Mine are pretty close to those. Also, when I first got my booties, they were pretty tight, but stretched out to comfort after a few dives.
Awesome! Yeah, he said $200 at discount (bullshit) I don't know about scuba but I'm not stupid. I don't have them yet, but thought I could buy any type of booties was thinking of these
But I was confused when he said it couldn't be just any type of mask/snorkel, like Teflon and something with the glass. So I didn't want to buy one that didn't work for diving.
Something like this should do for your feet, thicker the better
Tilos TruFit Dive Boots
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BB7XT3X/
Yes.
Something like this?
If you're a woman there are also looser swimming garments marketed to Muslim women often called "burkinis"
I use these when i kayak rivers. They dont let sand in when i portage ashore and have great traction. Extremely durable.
I have a pair, they’re great I should’ve bought more socks for them. Also check out these , i wore them in California and specifically got them for surfing
Do you like surfing?
If so, it is worth the investment.
If you don't, it is not worth it.
Don't overthink it brah! This isn't an MBA program. Buy a wavestorm (comes with a lifetime warranty) and this suit. Your total investment would be ~$334 . You can surf year round here in the bay area, you just get bigger waves in the winter which is why it is considered the prime season.
I have a pair of 5mm Aqua Lung Thermocline gloves that I've been really happy with. Dove with them for 40 minutes in 45 degree water and my hands never got cold.
This link has a few
inShareplus Cartoon Scuba Wetsuit Hood, Free Size Blue Dinosaur Shaped Premium Neoprene 3mm Vented Scuba Diving Hood for Scuba Diving, Snorkeling, Spearfishing https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H4ZDDPM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_lsRMDbMYAA9N2
OH! One more question, since you seem to know what you're talking about - I'm buying my first wetsuit...Do you think a 3/2 shorty is a good call for right now in SD? I'm willing to buy another warmer one if I decide to surf through the winter, but for now I need something to get me through the early summer. Thinking about getting this one - any thoughts?
Sorry for all the questions but how would something like this work out? https://www.amazon.com/dp/B002JPWZ0W/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_x7pdzbT80ZZ4V or is there specific brands I should be looking at
After a little research I was thinking about these neoprene pants https://www.amazon.com/NeoSport-SX310UN-Wetsuits-XSPAN-Pants/dp/B0035549RW (9 oz) and these wading booties http://www.backcountry.com/patagonia-neoprene-flats-bootie-mens (22 oz for the pair).
