What to pack

What October feels like

Endless Summer Cruisin' brings the hot rods back for a weekend and closes the season properly. It's the wettest month by total here, but the rain comes in bursts rather than drizzle — and the sea is still warmer than the air on a cool morning.

Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 66° — brisk but swimmable.
