What August feels like
August is when people here start checking the tropics the way other cities check traffic. It is also the cheapest the oceanfront gets, and a weekday beach in August is close to empty.
This is the wet season: rain on about 13 days, so pack accordingly. Full tropical humidity: mornings are your friend, and shade is currency. Most afternoons push past 90°.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 89° — bath-warm.
