What January feels like
January strips the oceanfront down to residents, surfers in thick hoods, and the Oceana jets running touch-and-gos overhead. Snow turns up most winters, usually just enough to shut the region down for a day before it melts.
Winter is doing its thing: 2.2 in of snow in a typical January, with fresh snow on about 2 days. about 16 nights dip below freezing.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 46° — frigid — locals in wetsuits only.
