What to pack

What August feels like

August is when locals check the tropics out of habit and go about their lives anyway — the anniversary of Harvey lands late in the month and nobody around here has forgotten it. Shade is scarce on the seawall, so the piers stay empty until the light goes long.

Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. Full tropical humidity: mornings are your friend, and shade is currency. Most afternoons push past 90°.

Can you swim?

The Gulf runs about 88° — bath-warm.
