I had never seen the Pacific Ocean till I took my boys to the Saints game in the Coliseum in 2019. We went to Long Beach to see the USS Iowa and from there, we went to the Ocean at a Park near Long Beach. We were there in September and that WATER WAS COOOOLD!! I can see how any breeze coming off the Ocean could make things cool, especially in January. Funny thing was, some wind surfers told us it was warmer than usual???
