What November feels like
November is the month locals stop apologizing for the weather. Rain plans become optional, the ferry out to Fort Sumter runs without a line, and the holiday lights go up before Thanksgiving while everyone grumbles about it.
Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 64° — cold — a quick dip takes resolve.
