I didn't flare this last trip to the beach, but there was a definite north wind coming through (brisk, cold, dry). The time before, I slept outside on a friend's big, breezy porch on a marsh in front of the ocean - the African trade winds blew right through the house. I thought surely this kind of wind would be balmy and healing, but I woke up so stiff I could barely turn my neck! I think we're just really sensitive to humidity. Perhaps it was warm/humid when you went?
