Weather in Stockton

What Stockton's weather means for skate and surf shops

With about 90 days a year at 90°F or hotter and August averaging a high of 95°F, sessions in Stockton drift to early morning and after dark, and the rack leans on light tees, tanks and mesh-back caps. Highs drop under a 65°F average only from December to January, but December lows average 39°F, so a midweight hoodie sells for dawn sessions even in a warm climate. Highs reach 70°F or more from March to October, so the tee and cap restock should land just before that stretch begins.

FAQ

Ordering from Stockton

What should a skate or surf shop in Stockton keep on the rack in winter?

A small fleece section, not a fleece wall: winter is just December to January under a 65°F average high, so a midweight hoodie and a long sleeve next to the tees are enough.
