What El Paso's weather means for skate and surf shops
Summer runs long in El Paso, with about 117 days a year at 90°F or more, so plan the year's biggest tee drop for spring, while riding weather is comfortable. Winter has some bite: highs average under 65°F from December to February and December lows average 34°F, so a heavyweight hoodie and a cuffed beanie earn real rack space for those months. Summer heat and cold winter mornings sit far apart, so a long-sleeve tee or a light crewneck bridges spring and fall and keeps the rack from swinging between extremes. On about 27 days a year the temperature reaches 100°F, so a light-colored, breathable tee is the blank that matters most in summer. About 42 nights a year reach 32°F or below, mostly in midwinter, so a beanie and a hoodie cover the coldest early sessions.

What should a skate or surf shop in El Paso keep on the rack in winter?
A winter section: from December on, freezing nights are not rare, so give fleece and a few beanies a dedicated spot through the holidays, then trim back in spring.
