What April feels like
The Mullet Toss at the Flora-Bama on the last weekend of April is exactly what it sounds like, and it works as the unofficial start of the season. Rain this month comes in short heavy bursts rather than all-day gray.
Expect about 4 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 71° — comfortable for swimming.
