Good to know
Good to Know
- May–September is genuinely warm and dry; best for general tourism and beach activities.
- Even summer days often require a light jacket or sweatshirt due to coastal wind and ocean influence.
- Winter months (December–February) bring 60–70% of annual rainfall; best suited for surfing (larger swells) or budget travel.
- September is an excellent sweet spot: warm water (peak at ~19°C (66°F)), fewer summer crowds, and reliable dry weather.
- Fog is common, especially mornings; often burns off by midday. Coastal location creates microclimates—sunny inland, foggy on the peninsula.
- No freezing rain or ice in the city; December–February brings cold, wet, windy weather but rarely hazardous conditions.
Wind
Persistent Atlantic winds year-round, especially strong in summer (Nortada northwesterly); creates excellent surf but can make temperatures feel colder.
