What October feels like
October is the second half of the good stretch, with the first monarchs arriving in Pacific Grove toward the end of it. Rain does not usually turn up until the tail of the month; until then the coast road south is the reason photographers come.
Real rain shows up about 2 days all month; the rest stay dry.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 60° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
