What to pack

What March feels like

March storms land between long bright stretches, and the hillsides stay soft and green into April. This is the tail of what locals just call the rains; after this, sprinklers do all the work until fall.

Expect about 3 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.

Can you swim?

The ocean runs about 58° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
