What April feels like
The nicest stretch before summer, and about as dry as this island gets. Sargassum starts washing up around now and it catches visitors off guard — crews rake the busy stretches, but the wild beaches out west keep every strand of it.
Expect about 3 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 73° — comfortable for swimming.
