Weather in Santa Monica

Embroidery through Santa Monica's year

Only 6 months average a high of 70°F or more, so pair the polos with a light quarter-zip carrying the same logo. February averages a high of only 66°F, so a long-sleeve polo carries the left chest logo through the cooler months. Rain peaks in February at about 3.3 inches, enough to justify a nylon windbreaker, and its thin shell wants a light, open logo, not a dense fill.
