I'd use a 4/3, 1.5 booties, 1.0 hood, and, when it is really cold, a sleeveless rash guard under the suit.
best spots are on Long Island.

see edit from 3/2 to 4/3. 4/3 is what I meant to write and it would not be over doing it. A 5/4 would be overdoing it unless you are surfing when snow is falling
