What April feels like
The Daffodil Days plantings around the Point and up Bellevue Avenue are an April thing, and the mansions return to full hours. The bay warms far more slowly than the air, so this is still wetsuit season for anyone getting in.
Expect about 7 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 47° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
