What November feels like
The Gulf holds its warmth long after the air cools off, so the swimming window stretches further than visitors expect on a calm day. The Lone Star Rally fills the seawall with motorcycles early in the month, and after that the island goes properly quiet.
Expect about 5 days with real rain — enough to notice, not enough to plan around.
Can you swim?
The Gulf runs about 71° — comfortable for swimming.
