What October feels like
October is when photographers stop complaining and everyone eats outside. Santa Ana events peak now, hot and dry and crackling with static, and the fire-weather alerts come with them. In between, the air is as clear as it gets.
Real rain shows up maybe one day all month; the rest stay dry.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 65° — brisk but swimmable.
