What to pack

What August feels like

August is coffee harvest on the slopes above town, and the pickers start before dawn. It's also the busy end of the central Pacific hurricane season; storms usually pass well south, but they can flatten the trades and leave the air heavy for days.

Real rain shows up maybe one day all month; the rest stay dry.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 82° — bath-warm.
