Summer has come to a close, but that doesn’t mean that fun on the water has to end. Here in Morro Bay, the weather is still beautiful, and the wildlife is as epic as ever! It’s really the perfect time to come enjoy the bay.
Enjoying the “Second Summer” in Morro Bay, California
One of the perks of living and vacationing in Morro Bay, California, is the beautiful weather. All summer, we tend to experience mild temperatures, and throughout the rest of the year, the weather usually stays in a comfortable range.
With that comes the experience of a “second summer,” sometimes called an “Indian summer,” in which we often welcome unseasonably warm weather through autumn. That makes October the perfect time to enjoy the bay and the sunshine!
What Is a Second Summer on the Central Coast of California?
The American Meteorology Society defines the “second summer” as “a period of abnormally warm weather that occurs in mid-to late autumn and after the first frost.” More casually, this term can be used to describe the beautiful weather experienced on the California coast from mid-September to early November. In Morro Bay, the average daily high temperature during October is 73°F according to weatherworld.com. In other words, fall weather in Morro Bay is as ideal as it gets when it comes to spending time recreating on the bay.
How to Spend Your Second Summer in Morro Bay
With such ideal weather, Morro Bay is a great place to spend time in October. And here at Sub Sea Tours & Kayaks and Morro Bay Whale Watching, there is something for everyone to enjoy!
Fun Activity for Kids: Sub Sea Tour
If you’re looking for a fun-for-everyone way to spend time on the bay, our Sub Sea Tour is a great option! Regardless of age or physical ability, this 45-minute tour is a fantastic way to enjoy the wildlife and history of Morro Bay.
The Seaview is equipped with underwater windows to see what’s going on under the surface of the water, and from above deck you’ll likely see otters, sea lions, birds, and so much more! This tour stays within the calm waters of the bay, so it’s great for those who may be more hesitant to head out on the open ocean.
Kayaking, Canoeing, & Stand-Up Paddle Boarding
If you’d prefer to experience Morro Bay’s stunning scenery and vibrant wildlife at your own pace, we’ve got you covered! We offer kayak, canoe, and stand-up paddle board rentals that are suitable for beginners and experienced paddlers alike!
Whether you’re keen on taking a solo adventure along the protected shorelines of the bay, or you and your friends want to see the wildlife from the water, renting our personal vessels is a great option. We even have a party canoe available for a unique group experience!
Whale Watching on the Central Coast
Want to head outside of the harbor to see what fun the ocean has to offer? If so, whale watching is a great way to spend your time in Morro Bay!
October is a part of humpback season, so it’s very likely that you will see an incredible whale show this time of year! If you enjoy seeing wildlife up close, definitely join us for a whale watching tour aboard the Freedom!
