• Bring a light sweater or cardigan for evening ocean breezes and A/C
• Pack long pants or maxi dresses for slightly cooler nights
• Sun protection remains critical—UV is intense year-round
• Pacific Ocean water temperature is comfortable (mid-70s°F)

Rainy season (June–October)

Expect higher humidity, warmer temperatures, and afternoon/evening showers—but rain typically passes quickly and doesn't disrupt entire days.

• Add a lightweight rain jacket or poncho
• Bring water-resistant sandals that dry quickly
• Anti-frizz hair products and extra after-sun lotion
• Insect repellent becomes more important during rainy months
