What August feels like
August is the least expensive the oceanfront gets, and people here will tell you it is a fair swap for keeping half an eye on the forecast. The storms are dramatic and short; the mornings are usually clean and bright.
Rain arrives about 11 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans. Most afternoons push past 90°.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 89° — bath-warm.
