What December feels like
December is when the town flips over: holiday boat parades, the estates lit up, and northern plates multiplying weekly. The last two weeks book out entirely, so anything spontaneous has to happen before the middle of the month.
Expect about 3 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around. Humidity stays comfortable; the air never feels heavy.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 70° — comfortable for swimming.
