What July feels like
July is famously the month visitors get wrong — the fog is thickest and the wind off the water is relentless, especially after lunch. Buy the fleece at Fisherman's Wharf if you must; everyone does.
Rain is genuinely rare — most years, July stays dry start to finish.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 61° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
