What July feels like
July fog can be thick enough to soak a jacket on a day the rain gauge barely notices, and the Monterey pines drip all morning. The jazz festival takes over the fairgrounds late in the month and everyone turns up in a hoodie.
Rain is genuinely rare — most years, July stays dry start to finish.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 60° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
