What October feels like
The international boat show packs the marinas at the end of the month and every hotel room with it. The rain is still around early on, but by Halloween the air usually carries its first drier edge.
Rain arrives about 8 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 83° — bath-warm.
