What Long Beach's weather means for skate and surf shops
Summer can still run hot, with about 23 days a year at 90°F or above, so a light tee and a mesh-back cap belong in the summer drop even here. December lows average 47°F, so a lightweight hoodie covers dawn sessions and cool evenings, and it is the one fleece piece the rack really needs. Highs reach a 70°F average or more from April to November, so put the tee and cap restock on the calendar for the weeks before that stretch starts. Several months a year get almost no rain, and only about 12 inches fall in all, so sunny-day staples like caps and five-panels keep selling.
