What February feels like
February is the peak of the rains, and after a good soak the whole front range greens up inside a week. It is whale season along the channel too; the southbound migration runs past the harbor all month.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 57° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
