What October feels like
October is the reward month — the water holds its summer warmth while the air finally loosens, and the fishing turns excellent as the bait moves. Weekend traffic out to the island drops off sharply after the first cool front.
Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. It’s sticky — light fabrics and an afternoon break earn their keep. about 8 afternoons top 90°.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 80° — bath-warm.
