Weather by month
Atlantic City
New Jersey
A working shore town with a real winter: the ocean keeps summer mild and takes its time warming up, and the boardwalk empties the moment the season ends.
The best time to come
September is the one — the ocean is at its warmest of the year, the boardwalk is still fully open, and the summer crowd has gone home. June and October are the quiet bookends, though in June the water is still cold enough to make you think twice.
