I bit the bullet and ordered an orca open water wetsuit (which is probably over kill given how mild the Atlantic is this time of year).

You never need a wetsuit, skins all year.

given I’m a total noob I figured I’d get used to being in open water first!

I'm a bit wary of the sea. If I were you I'd make friends with the regular locals and swim in a group.

Too late, wetsuit already purchased.

I would only ever get in if there were other people already in there (at the pier, not in the Atlantic)

I'd recommend getting one of those tow along buoys.

I swim in the sea near me once a week all year around and it's been invaluable. Both for safety and carrying snacks and a bottle of water.
