What April feels like
April is the underrated month — the rain backs off, the crowds are between waves, and the water starts showing the color everyone photographs. Cool fronts still slide through and drop an evening back into jacket range.
Expect about 4 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 71° — comfortable for swimming.
