What February feels like
February is the wettest stretch, but the storms pass in a day or two and the hills above Mission Valley turn a green they lose by May. Whale-watching peaks; so do the tide pools at the low swings.
Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. The air runs dry — whatever the thermometer says, it wears easy.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 58° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
