What August feels like
August is the stickiest stretch of the year here. Tropical systems start appearing on the map too — most years they pass well offshore and simply stir up heavy surf and rip currents, which the lifeguards will tell you about if you ask.
Rain arrives about 7 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans. It’s sticky — light fabrics and an afternoon break earn their keep. about 8 afternoons top 90°.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 77° — comfortable for swimming.
