Unless you happen to be diving the Phlegethon, where even in a 1 mil you'd be too warm.
Is 7mm overkill for coastal NC right now?

Vibrio
A number of illnesses, including cholera, are caused by the Vibrio family of bacteria. There are at least ten different types of this bacteria. The most common illnesses caused by the bacteria include gastrointestinal problems, soft tissue infections, and sepsis.
Shoot... I had to look that up! Anyway, I think that I am pretty cold tolerant and when I go out to the ledges, I wear a 3mm full. I don't pay it much attention cause I am looking for the teeth. I could probably go with less e.g. 3/2 shorty or such but I am working so I pay it no attention. Just looked it up on the computer and found it 75* at 105'.
Quarry’s start getting pretty cool @ 28' as the thermocline kicks in... Last month I was trying to see how far I could get down and found it 58* at 59'... In my 3mm I could not stay for long at all nor would I want to...! FYI, it was 73* at 32', 64* at 41'... and this was at the end of July...

My computer registered 80 degrees at depth when I was on the Papoose and the Spar on Saturday.
To answer the OP, I wore a 7mm and was comfortable. Others on the boat wore 1mm, 3mm, 7mm and one Fusion drysuit
