Last updated: 2026-09-22

Sweet spot: April, May, June. Computed from NASA POWER climate normals across the route's overnight towns, balancing temperature, rainfall and daylight.

💡 Good to know

Reviewed drier coastal window. Heat, surf, road and protected-area conditions still require live checks; whale migration is context, never a sighting promise.
Outside the reviewed baseline because heavier rain, road disruption, heat or transitional marine conditions need a separate assessment.
