Warm but pleasant conditions in Oak Beach in January. 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. Don't forget sun protection, sunglasses, sunscreen, and a hat.
