What to pack

What February feels like

The whale-watch boats out of the wharf stay busy with the southbound migration. Pebble Beach tournament week lands early in the month and fills every hotel on the peninsula, rain or not.

Expect about 6 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 56° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
