I have fished on 80 degree + days with a drysuit. Heat stroke wasn't a problem. That is what drinking water is for. Get a breathable dry suit and drink water. To help cool down, pour cold ocean water on your suit for evaporative cooling. As for sweating, you should be because it is a workout and that means you are getting healthier. I look forward to Buoy 10 salmon season. I drop 10 pounds every August. Just in time to put them back on over the holidays.

The small number of times I've been warmer than I want to be in a drysuit is dwarfed by the number of times I have been extremely glad to have the full coverage protection that it affords, not only from immersion but wind, rain, and snow as well. And some of those days that started out on the warm side were anything but by the time I beached my kayak. I sweat at the mere thought of sweating, but I've never once regretted committing fully to the drysuit. Knowing I'm as prepared for immersion as possible is mighty comforting when the distance to shore is counted in miles.
