Guesstimate of water temps in the gulf off of St. Pete in early November?

[beir]

A buddy of mine lives in St. Pete, FL and invited me to come diving with him in the gulf the first week of November. I was just curious what the water temps usually are this time of year and what kind of exposure protection you would recommend? I own a 3mm titanium lined superstretch Tilos suit but I'm guessing this won't be enough?

TIA

mid-lower 80's ... I'm still wearing a swimsuit in November

I checked my log book. I did a few dives at Venice the middle of November last year and the temps were in the 70's. I remember being very cold in my 3 mil.

Venice was 84 today. Not bad after 3 hurricanes sucked the heat outa the gulf!
