I got into the water halfway up to my knees at Bodega Bay, north of San

a beach in the San Diego area. What good are these oceans if you can't
swim in them, anyway?

Trick here is to find a good jacket/coat that not only acts like a windbreaker, but resists rain while "breathing".
For heavy rain you need a real rain coat.

For cold, rainy weather you need a better climate - same for snow and
ice. Ice is for drinks and skating rinks.
