What to pack, what to skip

Pack for the next 7 days
  • Sunglasses, a brimmed hat and SPF 30+
  • Layers - the daily swing is 65°F, so mornings feel nothing like afternoons
  • A packable rain shell - 3 of the next 7 days carry a real chance of rain
Worth avoiding
  • Avoid exposed ridgelines, small boats and rooftop viewpoints while gusts stay above 38 mph.
  • If your dates are flexible, avoid June, July and August - historically the least comfortable months here.
