September sits at the peak of hurricane season, which is exactly why the hotels are empty and the deals are absurd. Most years the storms stay offshore and you get warm water, thin crowds, and a habit of checking the tropics with your coffee.
Rain arrives about 11 days of the month, so keep one flexible day in your plans. about 11 afternoons top 90°.
Can you swim?
The ocean runs about 87° — bath-warm.
