I agree with Centrals, the 3 pounds was not due to moisture in your wetsuit. Either something else weighed more or the scale was inaccurate. 3 lbs of water is almost a half gallon.

Roll up a wetsuit in a dry beach towel for a minute to soak up some water. Reverse and do it again.

I lay mine out in the sun for a few hours - does the trick. Remember to dry the outside then reverse to dry the inside. Two other tricks: 1) get a hand held digital scale - costs just a few bucks - to see where you are weight wise. 2) check in at the curb and hand the person a $5 tip before the weigh-in. I've gotten by with a few pounds over several times doing this.
