What June feels like
June gloom here is real but shorter than down south — usually a gray morning and a bright afternoon. School lets out and the boardwalk hits its stride, and the free Friday-night concerts on the beach start up.
Rain is genuinely rare — most years, June stays dry start to finish.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 58° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
