What July feels like
Folk and Jazz take back-to-back weekends at Fort Adams around the turn of the month, and the whole peninsula books out — the bridge and Route 138 back up for miles. Between festivals this is the best swimming Newport offers, off the town beaches and out at Second Beach in Middletown.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 71° — comfortable for swimming.
