An onshore breeze is a breeze that blows from a body of water onto the land. Because of our geography and location here in Ventura, we often get a strong onshore breeze toward the end of the day. It brings welcome relief during the summertime and can be quite brisk in the winter.

The swirling details of these socks are meant to mimic the lines showing directional flow of breezes on weather charts. Knit from the cuff down, these socks have a reinforced heel flap and gusset, and they’re graded to three sizes. If you like soothing stitch patterns, you’ll love the four-round repeat that forms the basis of the Onshore Breeze Socks.

SIZES S, M, L

Finished sock dimensions: 7.5” (19 cm), 8.75” (22 cm), 10” (25.5 cm) circumference (Note: most people like their socks snug, so choose a finished sock size that is slightly smaller than your actual foot)
