I really want to go surfing over spring break but my parents think the water will be too cold and the waves not good enough. If you could tell me where some places are (including the states) that you can surf at and is warm in the water during the early spring I'd appreciate it! Also I am a begginner surfer. If you know specific beaches that offer lessons that would also be helpful! Thanks!

We've been getting somce decent swells off New Jersey's southern shore lately and the water temps are in the high 40s so it's not too cold although you would want to wear a wetsuit to prevent hyprothermia.
Lessons are available through one of the guys who works at Faria's in Beach Haven on Long Beach Island.
Also by 7th Street Surf Shop in Ocean City

I live in the Charleston, SC area and surf pretty much all fall/winter/spring long. The water temps right now are around 70 and all I need is a spring suit. When it is colder, I use a 3/2 full suit and in very rare occasions will wear booties. The best break around here is called "The Washout" at Folly Beach but there are a lot of other places that are good. You can get lessons around here and the surf stays pretty consistent all year. The waves are supposed to be pretty solid this weekend.
Other where I am, good breaks in SC are Surfside, Pawleys Island, and Isle of Palms. In North Carolina, there are a bunch of places around Wilmington and the Outer Banks. My favorite up there is Wrightsville Beach. I have never surfed Florida.

In jacksonville Florida the water temp is only around 65degrees right now. The waves have been from 3 to 6 feet lately but that changes with the wind direction weekly sometimes daily. I'm not sure how much warmer the water is farther south, but I think you will need a wet suit regardless, a short leg and sleeve should be good enough.
