Ditto.
"Traditionally" the season runs from "Mothers's Day to Father's Day". They flourish in a particular window of water temps. Can't be too cool or too warm.
Just plan on wearing a wetsuit or skin over your bathing suit as they usually need to be trapped against the skin to be a nuisance. This is why people who wear a t-shirt to protect themselves from sealice are shooting themselves in the foot.
I always wear a full suit, year round. Worst I ever experienced was a couple bumps at my collar.
Surfing, I have worn a rash guard without tying it to my board shorts. I ended up with a tramp stamp at the small of my back and what looked like a sunburst tatoo around my naval.
