It's just ok for me, not much different than Myrtle Beach,SC Not bad for NC

And I bet it's prone to getting hurricanes

One of the more better southern climates with the usual flaws: summers too humid, winters too variable and prone to cold. I'm guessing by the water breezes might make the hot day more tolerable? Outside of summer and the colder winter days, temperatures look very pleasant.

72°F is low?! What would you expect by the ocean?

Too prone to extreme cold given the coastal location and warm ocean. Ice days at this location is proof it is a flawed subtropical climate.

It's too wet overall, and the record lows could be warmer, everything else is good.
