What July feels like

July at the oceanfront runs on funnel cake and sunscreen, and the strip from Rudee Inlet up past 40th Street is shoulder to shoulder. Locals go south to Sandbridge or north into the state park, and everybody has a firm opinion about which is better.

Rain arrives about 8 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans. Full tropical humidity: mornings are your friend, and shade is currency. about 13 afternoons top 90°.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 76° — comfortable for swimming.
