Warm but pleasant conditions in Ulchin in August. Focus on lightweight, maybe with natural fabrics, cotton blend shirts, comfortable shorts, and breathable footwear. A light cover-up for sun protection is smart too. It's going to pour! Pack a good poncho and prepare for very wet conditions. Expect water temperatures of around 25°C (77°F), which is ideal for taking a refreshing dip. Bring swimwear and consider packing a towel for drying off.
