What Santa Ana's weather means for skate and surf shops
Summer can still run hot, with about 30 days a year at 90°F or above, so a light tee and a mesh-back cap belong in the summer drop even here. Even winter nights stay mild, with December lows averaging 48°F, so a lightweight hoodie or zip is enough fleece, and heavyweight pieces can wait. Tee weather runs March to November, so a tee and cap restock in late winter lines up with the long warm stretch. Several months a year get almost no rain, and only about 13 inches fall in all, so sunny-day staples like caps and five-panels keep selling.
