I suspect the sea breezes keep the humidity at bay.

No, quite the opposite. The sea breezes bring humidity, but moderate the temperature.


That's what I meant.

Same basic difference between Austin and Galveston, Sacramento and San Francisco, Spokane and Seattle.

I am not sure about that........with the west coast, there is a significant temp. differential between the water and the land inland. When the interior heats up, the cool air is pulled in from the ocean over the adjacent land in the form of fog. That dynamic can result in a temp differential between SF and Sac, and Seattle and Spokane as much as 30º in summer.

I don't think that same dynamic is in effect in TX. The ocean breezes may cool off the land by a few of degrees but I don't think there is much temp differential between the land and the water esp. by late summer. And I don't think summer temps are all that different between Austin and Galveston.

However, Brumer or CJ would know better.
