Hey - have you tried this wesbite that has realtime SST for Beqa Lagoon? I generally check it out every time I go to Beqa - seems to be a little cooler this year. I know a group that just returned from Beqa and they all wore 5mm (but then again they are softie Queenslanders!) I would think 3mm with maybe a titanium under rashy (even better with hood) would be OK...depends though on the quality and age of the neoprene and the seals and fit of the suit. I've never worn more than 4/3 mm in my 20 trips to Fiji. I just got back from North Sulawesi (July) and Sipadan (August) and with 29 degree C the water was just fine! But we did have some thermoclines where temperature 'plunged' to 26 or 27 (brrrr!). Funny how much difference a couple of degrees makes.
