Summer brings mid-60s to mid-70s°F daytime highs and the warmest, sunniest conditions. Saltwater temperatures stay cool (roughly 50–60°F) but swimming, boating, and shoreline fishing are most comfortable from June through August. Expect full reservations and higher weekend crowds in July and August, when ranger programs run and all amenities are open. The North Loop operates first-come, first-served from mid-September through mid-May, offering quieter camping for those willing to manage cooler, wetter conditions. The park typically winterizes in late November and reopens fully by late March, though winter camping continues in the North Loop with a dedicated water supply.
Warmest, sunniest season; best for swimming, boating and beach activities.
